I have made some local changes to gskit, in hope to save it form
deprecation (modernize, TLS 1.3, ALPN).
It compiles fine, but unfortunately I can't test it as the certificate
store access is denied on pub400. This is why I did not submit a PR for
it yet.
I you or someone else in the OS400 community volunteers for testing, I
can publish it.
Else I'm still in hope I can get the certificate store unblocked...
