[gnutls-dev] gnutls-cli -s triggered by SIGALRM too?

Hello, I'm working on a STARTTLS interface for Emacs using GNUTLS,
since the current Emacs solution uses a non-standard command line
application based on OpenSSL, so moving to gnutls-cli seems better.

However, triggering the STARTTLS negotiation by EOF seem slightly
problematic to do in a portable way from Emacs.  The old starttls
application triggered the STARTTLS negotiation by SIGALRM.  Would it
be possible to support this as well, in gnutls-cli?  Suggested patch
attached.

Btw, elisp code is at
<http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gnus/contrib/starttls.el?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>.
As you can see, it searches for certain strings that gnutls-cli
prints, so it would be good if those didn't change too much.

Thanks.
