You can lie. I do, and it works, at least on Fedora.

I'm even running Pan 0.138 on Fedora 15, and although older GnuTLS 
versions are supposed to cause segfaults according to Heinrich, I have 
not experienced them here.

In my opinion it is worth a try, to lie.

Namely, before you build, edit configure.in and change the GnuTLS line to 
whatever version you have. In my case it looks like this:

GNUTLS_REQUIRED=2.10.5

Since I build from git pull I then run: ./autogen.sh --with-gnutls --with-
dbus 

The configure prompt at the end thinks I will be using 3.0.11 but... I'm 
not. Anyway it builds fine and works fine, and I haven't seen any 
segfaults from the handshake at any time through the 0.137 and 
0.138 version cycles. I use SSL 563 on both my NSP servers.
