v0.3.2 fixes the setuid hole

Is was possible to become root by using --version and a malicious
extension module. I fixed this and added a sentinel just before the
dlopen() which checks that we are not setuid anymore.


Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2
-----------------------------------
* Fixed some bugs when using --textmode (-seat)

* Now displays the trust status of a positive verified message.

* Keyrings are now scanned in the sequence they are added with
--[secret-]keyring. Note that the default keyring is implictly
added as the very first one unless --no-default-keyring is used.

* Fixed setuid and dlopen bug.


Please note, that I changed my keys; see README for details.
The reason is not security related but to allow other OpenPGP programs
to verify my signature.
