About issue (1), there is not much we can do. Applications that used gcry_control() should be linked against libgcrypt...

About the change in libgnutlsxx sonumber, is because the ABI compatibility broke for that library. The libgnutls library is binary compatible, thus does not require change to .27.

The removal of gcrypt breaks lib compatibility with old apps that used gcry_control to setup gcrypt prior to gnutls init.  While trying out gnutls 2.11.7 other apps load the new lib instead of the old one (even if the new lib is installed into /usr/local/).  I think they are loading libgnutls.so.26 which is normally linked to libgnutls.so.26.16.14 but gets relinked to libgnutls.so.26.18.7 when  gnutls 2.11.7 is installed.  I noticed that libgnutlsxx.26 becomes libgnutlsxx.so.27 in 2.11.7 so why not libgnutls.so.27 ?
