Perhaps if we got some nice pointers in the docs or something us library users 
could also output a warning in similar style.

I would be fine with that, but as you can assume I would have to more or less 
unconditionally enable them for libcurl, since as you just saw: official CA 
certs out of our control clearly are using such algorithms.

And I would assume that one or two other GnuTLS using libs/apps will be using 
that very same cert bundle...
