Other hashes with DSA keys

[Johan Wevers]

Hello,

Now that PGP 9 beta seems to have extended the standard to allow non-160 bit
hashes to be used with DSA keys, isn't it time for GnuPG to do the same,
especially after the recent attacks on SHA-1? I know it's against the
standard, but the expansion of the standard is pretty straightforward and
not due to interpretation problems. After all, the official standard is
often a reflection of the behaviour of specific programs anyway.

And while this is being provessed, Tiger might be re-included too, since the
arguments against its 192 bits size are then no longer relevant.
