I've tried this with "openssl s_server" and it works either which way,
unsurprisingly.
"openssl s_server -cert wildcard.crt -key wildcard.key -CAfile ca.crt"

I can't get gnutls_server to use/send the CA intermediate at all, only the
server cert is sent with:
"gnutls-serv --x509keyfile=wildcard.key --x509certfile=wildcard.crt
--x509cafile=ca.crt"

While that sounds vaguely familiar, I don't think it could/should affect
things.
