We also have another problem I found during my migration to generic 
crypto functions. Since opencdk does crypto by itself it has (at least 
the included version) to call the gnutls API generic functions also, 
otherwise it will not be possible to completely offer a version compiled 
with another crypto library.

For this reason I'd suggest to consider making it (the tiny part) a part 
of gnutls. The generic API to use would be the exported gnutls _openpgp_ 
API. What do you think of this?
