Unfortunately, that isn't the case on Debian (at least on stable wheezy) -the
GnuTLS library itself does not depend on nettle. Only the gnutls-bin package
with various utility programs does. But anyway, if we decide to explicitly use
functions from nettle library, we would have to explicitly add a check for it
in configure.

There is another option for getting SHA1 which I forgot: Glib 2.30 adds support
for HMAC digests[1], so we could use those, if we bump our minimum Glib version
requirement from current 2.20 to 2.30. I'm not sure if that's a good idea,
though just for one additional authentication method.
