Yes, exactly. But I don't tend to change the library sources (with the need to tweaking it each time a new gnutls version comes along) - we might need to talk to the gnutls developers for a new release with a fix for this.

In the meantime, I can live with gnutls simply disabled in config.nmake for now - as it's just optional.

Generating with the patches from Laurent (already checked in) my binaries are just running fine. There's need for me for some minor tweaking left (e.g. test correct unicode handling, installer, ...), but the general process is just working ok. ;-)))

However, I've only tested it on MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with latest Platform SDK - I will test it on the 2005 Studio later.
