I don't understand.  Doesn't GnuTLS provide the libgnutls-dane library?

At

  https://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Verifying-a-certificate-using-DANE.html#Verifying-a-certificate-using-DANE

it says

  The DANE functionality is provided by the libgnutls-dane library
  that is shipped with GnuTLS and the function prototypes are in
  gnutls/dane.h.

What does Unbound have to do with this?
