The old soup NSS code is really really really old and is not in any way
useful for anything at this point.

I actually already wrote a patch to add NPN support to gnutls when I was
thinking about SPDY before:
http://git.mysterion.org/gnutls/commit/?h=npn&id=cc8cb0a1

I never submitted it upstream because I was going to wait until I'd done
more SPDY code and had verified that it actually worked completely... (I
did manage to at least do some minimal testing of it IIRC.)
