Hi.  You can run 'gnutls-cli -l' to check what your particular
library/tool can support, but if you want to check the source see:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnutls.git;a=blob;f=lib/gnutls_algorithms.c;hb=HEAD

The array with all supported ciphersuites is cs_algorithms.

Output from my 'gnutls-cli -l' is below.

The compression API is pretty minimal (get names of compression modes,
and to enable/disable whether to use it, etc).  Looking over the APIs
involved, I can say that these functions will continue to work the same
for many years the very least.  No changes in that area is planned that
I know of.  Finally, I don't recall any changes in this area as long as
I have been involved.  LZO compression was disabled in the last release,
but it doesn't affect the API, and you probably don't want LZO anyway
because it is non-standard.
