Changes to 1.99.20/20100304
+ move args to some functions around to be consistent
+ use uint*_t where appropriate
+ fix bug in verify memory
+ add documentation to manual pages to show how to do combined
signing/encryption and decryption/verification
+ make verification of ascii-armoured memory work the same as binary
+ eliminate use of strdup(3), strcasecmp(3), and strptime(3).
NetBSD/pkgsrc PR 42922 applies - need to define
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE for newer linux platforms with
glibc 2.10.1. solved a bit differently, by implementing
strdup(3) and strcasecmp(3) independently, and using regexps
to avoid calling strptime(3).

The netpgp command can digitally sign files and verify that the
signatures attached to files were signed by a given user identifier.
netpgp can also encrypt files using the public or private keys of
users and, in the same manner, decrypt files which were encrypted.
The netpgp utility can also be used to generate a new key-pair for a
user. This key is in two parts, the public key (which can be used by
other people) and a private key.
In addition to these primary uses, the third way of using netpgp is to
maintain keyrings. Keyrings are collections of public keys belonging
to other users. By using other means of identification, it is
possible to establish the bona fides of other users. Once trust has
been established, the public key of the other user will be signed.
The other user's public key can be added to our keyring. The other
user will add our public key to their keyring.
This software is built on top of openpgpsdk 0.9.1, but provides a
higher-level interface, is autoconf-ed and libtool-ed, and has had
some significant bugs fixed.
