RSA extension?
So I got a copy of rsaref and it looks to me like the license would
allow me to use it with gpg to verify PGP signatures.

Is there information anywhere about building a gpg extension module from
the rsaref code? I can run "gpg --load-extension rsa" and it looks for
/usr/local/lib/gnupg/rsa, which of course doesn't exist. I couldn't
find any info in the GPG dist about how to create one of those--is it
documented somewhere?

ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/old/rsa.c :

`grep gcc rsa.c`

and copy rsa to /usr/local/lib/gnupg


It is not distributed because you are not allowed to use it in the
U.S.

Yes - I know that old/ is a bad name as it is not mirrored and I will
create a contrib directory.
