It is alreay available since Oct 3rd:

 ftp://ftp.guug.de/gcrypt/devel/rijndael.c.gz

It is a module:

$ eval `grep gcc rijndael.c` && cp rijndael /usr/local/lib/gnupg/
$ echo "load-extension rijndael" >>~/.gnupg/options

I did anounce it only on the developers ML so that we can test it
first against other implementations.  It seesm to works, but please
wait a few days before you start to use it.

Anyway, it is only useful for symmetric-only encryption becuase
there are yet no Rijndael preferences.
