Misc PGP utilities

• Baby_PGP.cc
  This is tiny, tiny example code I wrote that explains in a simple (really simple) way how pgp encryption works. Good for learning.
  Requires an Integer Class for the GMP library
  
  
• PGPView
  This spits out all the information that is hidden in the pubring.pgp and secring.pgp files, including user id's, public exponents, as well as the public modulus, N, that will allow you to decode the secret messages, provided, of course, you can factor it.
  
  
• PGP_Calc.cc
  With this code, you enter in P and Q (the two factors of the public modulus, N) and it spits out all the other required numbers that are needed when decoding PGP encrypted messages (like the secret exponent, D, for example.)
  Requires an Integer Class for the GMP library
  
  
• PGP_Write.cc
  PGPWrite.cc allows you to create custom PGP packets, such as secring.pgp files to decode public encrypted files, as well as most other common PGP type packets.
  Requires an Integer Class for the GMP library
