You'll need to tie it in in a few places.  See
cipher/pubkey.c:setup_pubkey_table and the functions in g10/keygen.c
(assuming you need to generate one of these keys).  Finally, you'll
need to assign it a algorithm number in include/cipher.h.  You must
use an algorithm number from 100-110 to indicate that it is an
experimental algorithm.
