gnupg 1.2.1 IDEA support

[Goober Rama]

Thanks for the response...Yeah, I've got the module in there prior to the 
configure and make and it does get compiled.  From what I've seen, the 'idea 
encryption (0) failed' means there's an internal self-check within the idea 
module that's failing.

Also from what I can tell, it is successfully compiling with big endian 
support so...I'm at a loss.
