* at least an option to prefer DSA keys over RSA when selecting the key to
use. Depending on creation time would be nice too. I think this is
already done for the subkeys - check it.
* Fix localtime() in W32.
* INFO Kommand um z.B. default-recipients herauszufinden.
Scheduled for 1.1
-----------------
* Rework the whole key selection stuff: Compile a list of valid
candidates for a keyblock first and the select one from it.
The current code is too ugly (getkey.c).
* With option -i prompt before adding a key to the keyring and show some
info what we are about to add.
* Speed up calculation of key validation.
* Allow a replacement for the progress functions in ./cipher
* print a warning when a revoked/expired _secret_ key is used.
* --disable-asm should still assemble _udiv_qrnnd when needed
* Skip RO keyrings when importing a key.
* Use the newest encryption key if only the main key has been given.
* replace the keyserver stuff either by a call to a specialized
utility and SOCKSify this utility.
* Check the beginning of file to detect already compressed files (gzip,
bzip2, xdelta and some picture formats)
* Delay the read of the passphrase-fd after a NEED_PASSPHRASE. But this
may break some scripts.
Nice to have
------------
* Official 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.
* Do a real fix for bug #7 or document that it is a PGP 5 error.
* preferences of hash algorithms are not yet used.
* 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?
* the pubkey encrypt functions should do some sanity checks.
* dynload: implement the hint stuff.
* "gpg filename.tar.gz.asc" should work like --verify (-sab).
* for messages created with "-t", it might make sense to append the
verification status of the message to the output (i.e. write something to
the --output file and not only to stderr.
* configure option where to find zlib
* Display more validity information about the user IDs at certain places.
We need a more general function to extract such kind of info from the
trustdb.
* Evaluate whether it make sense to replace the namehashs either by
using the user ID directly or by using pointers into the trustdb.
