GnuTLS 1.5.0 - experimental, with Windows installer

I am happy to announce GnuTLS 1.5.0, the first release on the current
experimental branch.  We recommend the 1.4.x branch for those looking
for a stable version.

One goal with the 1.5.x branch is to make Windows x86 a supported
platform for GnuTLS.  We do this by providing a binary Windows
installer of GnuTLS, cross-compiled from GNU/Linux using MinGW and
NSIS, see below.  The installer is (lightly) tested on Windows 2000
and Windows XP.  It is possible to develop applications in Visual
Studio or MinGW that links to the library.

GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network
applications.

* Version 1.5.0 (released 2006-08-13)

** Change SRP and Cert-Type extensions to match IANA registry.

** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake.

** Improvements for building under MinGW.
Provides internal inet_ntop and inet_pton functions and arpa/inet.h
header.  Calls WSAStartup and WSACleanup in gnutls_global_init and
gnutls_global_deinit, respectively.  Loads getaddrinfo and getnameinfo
at run-time from ws2_32.dll, and falls back on a simple replacement if
it is not available.  Builds the library with -mms-bitfields
-Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc.  Links with --output-def, to
create *.def files, which are installed.
