* add some status output put for signing and encryption.
replace the putc in primegen with some kind of status-fd outputs.
* Speed up calculation of key validity.
* See why we always get this "Hmmm, public key not anymore available"
Rewrite that stuff.
* print a warning when a revoked/expired _secret_ key is used.

* remove more "Fixmes"
* Use capabilities if available. glibc2 does not support it yet?
What about 2.2 or should we use the system calls directly?
* when decryptiong multiple key: print a warning only if no usable pubkey
encrypt package was found. Extension: display a list of all recipients.
* Add NO_PUBKEY and NO_SECKEY status lines.
* Solaris make has problems with the generated POTFILES - seems to be a
gettext bug.
* find a way to allow the import of non-self-signed keys. This is needed
for the IN ENCR/SIGN hack.
Nice to have
------------
* Let take --help an option to select some topics.
* Offcial test vectors for 3DES-EDE3
* use DEL and ^H for erasing the previous character (util/ttyio.c).
or better readline.
* Print a warning if the directory mode is wrong.
* replace the keyserver stuff either by a call to a specialized
utility or SOCKSify the stuff.
* Do a real fix for bug #7 or document that it is a PGP 5 error.
* clearsig: Keep lineendings while writing the output of a clearsig
* preferences of hash algorithms are not yet used.
* new menu to delete signatures and list signature in menu
* Replace the SIGUSR1 stuff by semaphores to avoid loss of a signal.
or use POSIX.4 realtime signals. Overhaul the interface and the
test program. Use it with the test suite?
* add test cases for invalid data (scrambled armor or other random data)
* add checking of armor trailers
* Burn the buffers used by fopen(), or use read(2). Does this
really make sense? And while we are at it: implement a secure deletion
stuff?
* Stats about used random numbers.
* the pubkey encrypt functions should do some sanity checks.
* dynload: implement the hint stuff.
* "gpg filename.tar.gz.asc" sollte wie mit --verify funktionieren (-sab).
* Den Dateinamen aus der message nicht benutzen, sondern nur
das gpg/asc strippen.
