"Require TLS" and "Use TLS if available" are two very different things.  I
removed the "Use TLS if available" option.  I don't believe Gaim has ever had
a "Require TLS" option, and I don't know what Gaim would do if it tried to
connect to a server that did not support TLS.  My guess is that it would fail
to connect--isn't TLS required by the XMPP spec?  Hopefully someone more
familiar with Gaim's Jabber code will chime in.
