A minor patch is attached for the description of
gnutls_x509_extract_certificate_subject_alt_name

The current description talks about "dns names" where it means the more
general "alternative name" - I guess this might be left over from the
original gnutls_extract_dns_name() (or whatever it was called).

Regards,

Andrew
