sci-misc/boinc should support CURL_SSL="gnutls"

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Sven Eden 2017-05-22 08:11:34 UTC 
It seems that enabling gnutls USE flag on curl breaks boinc ability to connect to WorldCommunityGrid (WCG) servers.

Before I allow that again, I have to test whether this is still the case. It was for years, though...

It *seems* to work. I got a WCG task (OpenZika) with USE="curr_ssl_gnutls".

However, I get a lot of "communication delayed" messages, and none of the results was uploaded successfully, yet.

Please test with the updated ebuilds in seden-overlay (via layman) and report if BOINC works for you with gnuTLS.

I have only tested boinc-7.6.33 so far...
