* check for working mmap()
* after creating a new uid, the preferences in the trustdb are not updated.
We should always sync the trustdb in such cases.
* The critical bit of signature subpackets is not yet supported; i.e.
it is ignored.
* Exportable Certification Flag is ignored
* Why does OpenPGP say: The algorithm byte is included in the
checksum of an encoded key, but the actual implementaion does
not do this but works - According to Hal Finney, this is a bug
in the specs.
* fix armor problems (see mails by Brian Moore).
* write a tool to extract selected keys from a file.
* new menu to delete signatures and list signature in menu
* commandline controlled --edit-key with assumed save.
* -rdynamic auf Solaris Problem
* if --libdir is used, the extensions are put in a wrong place.
How does GNOME handle this or make a new option for this directory.
Hmmm, I don´ like to pass ot as a commandline option to cc.
* Replace the SIGUSR1 stuff by semaphores to avoid loss of a signal.
* add test cases for invalid data (scrambled armor or other random data)
* add some sanity checks to read_keyblock, so that we are sure that
the minimal requirements are met (?)
* decryption of message with multiple recipients does not work.
* preferences of hash algorithms are not yet used.
* rewrite --list-packets or put it into another tool.
* Burn the buffers used by fopen(), or use read(2). Does this
really make sense?
* Change the buffering to a mbuf like scheme? Need it for PSST anyway.
* add checking of armor trailers
* remove all "Fixmes"
* Change the internal represention of keyid into a struct which
can also hold the localid and extend the localid to hold information
of the subkey number because two subkeys may have the same keyid.
* add an option to re-create a public key from a secret key. Think about
a backup system of only the secret part of the secret key.
* OpenBSD has sometimes problems reading from /dev/random.
* change the fake_data stuff to mpi_set_opaque
* Is it okay to use gettext for the help system???
* Add some stuff for DU cc
* use "passphrase" instead of "pass phrase"
* Use "user ID", "trustdb" and "WARNING".
