Comment (by elrond):

 After some lengthy discussion on pidgin-devel, the current consensus seems
 to be:

 1. This should go in soon. Without any config knob for now. The only real
 expected problem are completely broken mitm/ssl proxies.
 2. debug logging is needed.
 3. gnutls should do the same.

 About Logging:
 * I already asked for someone else helping with it. It shouldn't be too
 hard, really.

 About GnuTLS:
 * If one wants to change things, the place is the priority string. One can
 do things like "+TLS-VERS-ALL" which adds everything from SSL3 to TLS1.2.
 * From looking at the GnuTLS sources, this seems to be the default.
 * If this is correct, then all that's needed for (3) above is to verify
 this on the wire.
