Oh, I also was able to recompile the client using the output and the RSA
stuff worked.

 I'm going to go back and recompile GMP.  The GMP 2.0 stuff has, I think,
better support for Win32.  For instance with the 1.3.2 stuff I had to rename
the pow() function to mpow() in order to get around the fact that there
already existed a pow() function... Anyway it's a major kludge. :)


 Ok, so what are the rules as far as as US citizen types utilizing this
code?  Are we breaking any laws?  Will I end up in jail?
