Having lsh's crypto part be compatible with GNUPG would be a very good idea;
the library code in GNUPG is quite nice, allowing e.g. dynamic loading of
extensions (so the dreaded patented algorithms can be distributed as
separate add-ons). It would be very nice if extensions for GNUPG would work
with lsh too.
