This error message is totally wrong now, because we redefined to be:

(defun starttls-available-p ()
  "Say whether the STARTTLS programs are available."
  (and (not (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos)))
       (executable-find (if starttls-use-gnutls
                            starttls-gnutls-program
                          starttls-program))))

That is, if we're under Windows, we just give up, because gnutls-cli
doesn't work, because we don't have signals under Windows.

So I'll fix the error message to be less misleading.
