Here is another version of the patch that doesn't modify the API. It just adds another parameter to the gnutls_callback_t prototype that specify the mode (either "verify" or "set certificate").

oh, and i forgot the POC:
$ openssl genrsa -out server.key 4096
$ openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
$ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
$ openssl dhparam -outform PEM -out dhparam.pem 4096
$ openssl s_server -cert server.crt -key server.key -dhparam dhparam.pem -accept 6697

then try to connect on 127.0.0.1/6697 -ssl and there will be no verification of the server certificate.
If we configure openssl to request a client certificate using s_server's '-verify' option, then weechat will check the certificate (and detect it as self-signed).

$ openssl s_server -cert server.crt -key server.key -dhparam dhparam.pem -accept 6697 -verify yes

It might be possible to fix the problem without changing the API by calling the gnutls_cb (=irc_server_gnutls_callback) function twice, first to verify the server's certificate and then to set the client certificate ?
