Adding an algorithm to openpgpsdk doesn't actually involve coding all  
that much.  It uses OpenSSL for its crypto, so adding Camellia  
basically involves passing a pointer to the Camellia_set_key(),  
Camellia_encrypt(), etc, functions within OpenSSL.

Even so, anyone want to give it a whirl?  It should take you less than  
30 minutes (I've done it already - it's trivial, and not much more  
than copying the AES section and doing a search and replace to swap  
"AES" for "Camellia").  The only real gotcha is that openpgpsdk  
doesn't support Elgamal, so you'll need to make an RSA key to test with.
