thanks, yes. i have the documentation for 2.8.6 as well, and i'll take 
suggestion regarding tls 1.2 under advisement.  but my question really was in 
reference to the relationship between any particular version's list of cipher 
suites, and the corresponding list of macs.  am i misinterpreting what these 
things mean?  if a particular version of gnutl includes things like sha512 in 
its list of macs, why do the cipher suites appear to not support it?
