[PATCH] OAEP support

[Daiki Ueno]

Hi,

The attached is the current version of the OAEP patch, reflecting your
suggestion for the interface.  Since I think the patch still lacks
polish, further comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Done.  I renamed "hash" to "hash-algo" since "hash" is used in different
meaning.  The current interface is as follows:

* gcry_pk_encrypt takes the following sexp:

(data
  (flags oaep)
  (hash-algo sha1)
  (label "test")
  (value #11223344556677889900AA#))

and returns:

(enc-val (rsa ...))

* gcry_pk_decrypt takes the following sexp:

(enc-val
  (flags oaep unpad)
  (hash-algo sha1)
  (label "test")
  (rsa ...))

and returns:

(data (value ...))

* Both functions do padding internally.  Note that "unpad" in flags,
which indicates the output plaintext is un-padded, while the library
currently do not handle un-padding.

* Q: Can I implement PSS similarly?  RFC3447 insists that, there is a
patent pending by the University of California, but they promises(?)
that they will freely license confirming implementation, once PSS is
standardised.
