	* added option "--status-fd": see g10/OPTIONS


	* We have secure memeory on systems which support mlock().
	It is not complete yet, because we do not have signal handler
	which does a cleanup in very case.
	We should also check the ulimit for the user in the case
	that the admin does not have set a limit on locked pages.

	* started with internationalization support.

	* The logic to handle the web of trust is now implemented. It is
	has some bugs; but I'm going to change the algorithm anyway.
	It works by calculating the trustlevel on the fly. It may ask
	you to provide trust parameters if the calculated trust probability
	is too low. I will write a paper which discusses this new approach.

	* a couple of changes to the configure script.

	* New option "--quick-random" which uses a much quicker random
	number generator. Keys generated while this option is in effect
	are flags with "INSECURE!" in the user-id. This is a development
	only option.

	* Read support for new version packets (OpenPGP).

	* Comment packets are now of correct OpenPGP type 16. Old comment
	packets written by G10 are detected because they always start with
	a hash which is an invalid version byte.

	* The string "(INSECURE!)" is appended to a new user-id if this
	is generated on a system without a good random number generator.
