Configure options for GNUPG
===========================
+--enable-static-rnd=<name> Force the use of the random byte gathering
+ module <name>. Default is either to use /dev/random
+ or the standard Uix module. Value for name:
+ egd - Use the module which accesses the
+ Entropy Gathering Daemon. See the webpages
+ for more information about it.
+ unix - Use the standard Unix module which does not
+ have a very good performance.
+ linux - Use the module which accesses /dev/random.
+ This is the first choice and the default one
+ for GNU/Linux or *BSD.
+ none - Do not linkl any module in but rely on
+ a dynmically loaded modules.
+
--with-included-zlib Forces usage of the local zlib sources. Default is
to use the (shared) library of the system.
--with-included-gettext Forces usage of the local gettext sources instead of
the one provided by your system.

- This makes the program slower but it checks every
- free operation and can be used to create statistics
- of memory usage. If this option is used the program
- option "--debug 32" displays every call to a malloc

- option "--debug 128" displays a memory statistic after
- the program run.
