rfc2253-escape-test failed

[lfinsto at gwdg.de]

I've updated my local copy of the main branch and built the package again.
 I had a couple of problems:

make bootstrap

configure --disable-valgrind-tests
--with-libgcrypt-prefix=/home/lfinsto/libgcrypt-1.4.4 --prefix=`pwd`

Linking failed until I did this:

export LDFLAGS="-L/home/lfinsto/libgcrypt-1.4.4/lib"

i.e., the path passed as the argument to the --with-libgcrypt-prefix
option of configure (plus `/lib') wasn't used in the link command.

It's a bit inconvenient to have to call `configure' after `make
bootstrap', especially since `configure' takes so long to run.  (Very
noticeable when done over and over.)

This also needs to be done, as mentioned previously:

cp /home/lfinsto/libgcrypt-1.4.4/include/*.h ./lib/gcrypt

After that, it's clear sailing, except for this:

Creating man pages for lib/warning: 15446: Cannot understand  * @session:
gnutls session
 on line 15446 - I thought it was a doc line
warning: 15468: Cannot understand  * @session: gnutls session
 on line 15468 - I thought it was a doc line

[...]

It seems to be one error, but there is a total of 1332 lines of error
messages.
