Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.5 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
* The configure options --enable-rsa and --disable-rsa can now be
used to enable or disable RSA support. This can be useful for
embedded use where space is tight. --enable-minimal includes
--disable-rsa.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.4 (2003-11-27)

--enable-minimal
Build the smallest gpg possible (disables all
optional algorithms, disables keyserver access,
and disables photo IDs). Specifically, this means
--disable-rsa --disable-idea, --disable-cast5,
--disable-blowfish, --disable-aes,
--disable-twofish, --disable-sha256,
--disable-sha512, --without-bzip2, and
--disable-exec. Configure command lines are read
from left to right, so if you want to have an
"almost minimal" configuration, you can do (for
example) "--enable-minimal --enable-rsa" to have
RSA added to the minimal build.
Installation Problems
---------------------
If you get unresolved externals "gettext" you should run configure
again with the option "--with-included-gettext"; this is version
0.10.40 which is available at ftp.gnu.org.
0.12.1 which is available at ftp.gnu.org.
If you have other compile problems, try the configure options
"--with-included-zlib" or "--disable-nls" (See ABOUT-NLS) or
