Bugs
----
* clearsig: keep lineendings as they are. Remember that trailings
blanks are not hashed. Funny: pgp263in works fine even with
a source file with CR,LF but GnuPG and pgp263in has problems
if the clearsign has been created by pgp263ia.
Needs more investigation - anyone?
Important
----------
* Check revocation and expire stuff. PLEASE: THIS MUST BE TESTED!
* Check calculation of key validity. PLEASE: IT IS IMPORTED THAT
THIS GET TESTED.
* It has been reported that lockfiles are not removed in all cases.
cleanup is done with atexit() and all signals trigger exit() -
anything wrong with this? - ah yes: a signal while still in
dotlock_make
* See why we always get this "Hmmm public key lost"
* print a warning when a revoked/expired secret key is used.
* Allow the use of a the faked RNG only for keys which are
flagged as INSECURE.

Needed
------
* remove more "Fixmes"
* Replace Blowfish by Twofish and add the new encrypted packet typ
which has a MACing option (append SHA1 hash to the plaintext and
encrypt this all) - We need an identifier for Twofish to put this
one into the cipher preferences.
* The -export-dynamic flag to ld works only for FreeBSD 3.0. It does
not exist on FreeBSD's 2.2.x version of ld.
Also, on my FreeBSD 2.2-stable box, i simply removed the
-Wl,-export-dynamic flag from my Makefile and it linked and seems to
be working OK so far.
Minor Bugs
----------
Nice to have
------------
* 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.
* 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?
* change the fake_data stuff to mpi_set_opaque
