Noteworthy changes:

	* updated for Automake 1.9,
	* made the code try to lock secure memory pool not only when running as
	  root,
	* fixed type usage in Serpent,
	* made the code mix the PID into the entropy pool for better protection
	  after a fork,
	* fixed memory leak in RSA.
	* fixed alignment problems in Rijndael,
	* fixed memory leak in gcry_pk_sign(),
	* fixed broken pointer access in gcry_ac_open(),
	* updated the documentation,
	* fixed several other bugs.
</snip>

No idea if those fixed memory leaks are security relevant..
