Usage of gdbm files for keyrings
================================
The key to store the keyblokc is it's fingerpint, other records
are used for secondary keys. fingerprints are always 20 bytes
where 16 bit fingerprints are appded with zero.
The first byte of the key gives some information on the type of the
key.
1 = key is a 20 bit fingerprint (16 bytes fpr are padded with zeroes)
data is the keyblock
2 = key is the complete 8 byte keyid
data is a list of 20 byte fingerprints
3 = key is the short 4 byte keyid
data is a list of 20 byte fingerprints
4 = key is the email address
data is a list of 20 byte fingerprints
Data is prepended with a type byte:
1 = keyblock
2 = list of 20 byte padded fingerprints
3 = list of list fingerprints (but how to we key them?)
