[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs 3.4 / failed TSL connection to Melpa

[Michal Ramsza]

Thank you very much. 

I've found this post: https://github.com/davidswelt/aquamacs-emacs/issues/133 and tinkered a bit with the problem but then realized that Aquamacs probably changed a library used to make a connection and that maybe I do not have gnutls-cli installed in the first place. I installed it with brew install gnutls-cli, and it just works (except for Marmalade). I will tinker with this a bit more, but it is okay for me now.
