hello!

i'm trying to use gnupg on OpenBSD. here are some
problems with gnupg-0.4.1:

- /dev/random does not work on OpenBSD, i use /dev/srandom instead
(random(4) says: /dev/random reserved for nuclear noise generators.)
- dynamic loading with dlopen works on OpenBSD, but:
* dlopen() is not defined in libdl, but in crt0.o and friends
* OpenBSD binaries are a.out, so every symbol begins with "_"

the rsa extension module works with:
gcc -shared -rdynamic -fpic rsa.c -Wl,-Bshareable -Wl,-x -o rsa
i'm not sure if this is the only way.

the following patches are quick hacks,
they test against the OS instead of features.
