Found it. Compiled it. Works - apart from one thing:

I still can't put a signature fom my old RSA key on the new DSA/ElGamal 
key. Here's a shot snippet from the last try:

(0x7D215F2C is the DSA/ElGamal Key, 0x5C9ADA2D the RSA one)

[ralle at kazong ~/.gnupg]$ gpg -u 0x5C9ADA2D --edit 7D215F2C

Are you really sure that you want to sign this key
with your key: "niere at fh-worms.de"

Really sign? y

gpg: protection algorithm 1 is not supported
gpg: signing failed: unknown cipher algorithm

Is there anything I didn't get right?
