Some debian boot-floppies expressed interest in a GPG signature
verifier for busybox. That is my kind of project. Since I happen to be
leaving on vacation today for a few weeks, I may have some time to
think about it. The last time I went on vacation, I wrote a math
parser :). The major stumbling block so far is finding a good bignum
library. GNU bc/dc have one that has a small enough footprint, but it
has poor algorithms. It took it 2:07 to do a modular exponentiation
that libgmp could do in 300ms. So I'm still looking...
