+** libgnutls: In all functions accepting UTF-8 passwords, ensure that
+ passwords are normalized according to RFC7613. When invalid UTF-8
+ passwords are detected, they are only tolerated for decryption.

+ libunistring is included in the library for the platforms that do
+ not ship it; it can be used with the '--with-included-unistring'
+ option to configure script.
