Yes.

I was going to check whether setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY¹ would be a
better choice.  When using blocking I/O, I don't see the point in having
OpenSSL's I/O functions return SSL_WANT_READ.  I just wanted to make
sure this won't break GnuTLS (or older OpenSSL versions, but I think
they introduced SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY ages ago).  If GnuTLS supports
SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY, I'd happily pull a commit that sets this mode
(maybe wrapped in an "#ifdef SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY" if it's only supported
by newer GnuTLS versions).
