3d0c7a2202 doc: python bindings howto
* Fixed a minor typographic error.
* Bumped version number in preparation for merge with master.
* While there are probably a few more things worthy of being added
  (mainly how to revoke things), this document is essentially ready
  for publication now.

This is a copy of the code from the payproc commit
af5d6b4f820ee19e246a2cab6f56465fe91f1233.  The code was originally
added to payproc with the commit below.

Simplify cJSON and add new macros.

* src/cJSON.h: Re-indented.
(cjson_t): New.
(cjson_is_): New macros.
* src/cJSON.c: Re-indented.  Include errno.h and our util.h.
(ep): Remove global var.
(cJSON_GetErrorPtr): Remove.
(cJSON_strcasecmp): Cast args for use with tolower.
(cJSON_malloc, cJSON_free): Remove.  Change callers to use xtrymalloc
and xfree.
(cJSON_InitHooks): Remove.
(cJSON_strdup): Remove.  Change callers to use xtrystrdup.
(cJSON_New_Item): Simplify.
(cJSON_ParseWithOpts, cJSON_Parse): Add arg R_ERROFF.
(parse_string, parse_value, parse_array, parse_object): Add arg EP.

cJSON has been taken from cjson-code-58.zip.  The README file has been
renamed to cJSON.readme and the files have been changed to GNU coding
standards.  Because that parser is small enough to be source copied it
does not make sense to treat it as a library and I changed the memory
allocation functions to the usual xmalloc ones. The only external
dependency now is out util.h which declares those functions.

The lowercase cjson_t better fits into our coding style as well as the
new macros.  Thanks to Dave Gamble for this nice parser.

* Translating to American can happen *after* it's done.

   anyway.

  specific key.

* Added a miscellaneous work-arounds section at the end.
* Included code in said miscellaneous section for accessing the groups
  specified in a gpg.conf file.
* It's a bit ugly since it does require subprocess (but not call,
  Popen or shell access and only accesses one command).

7ebc5a3570 doc: python bindings howto
* Switched from links to some external docs to using footnotes where
  necessary.
* Ideally the howto should be as stand alone as possible.
* Also it makes it difficult to convert to another format for
  proof-reading if there are links that the conversion can't find.

fa4927146b docs: python bindings howto update.
* Added all four signing code examples that are most likely to be
  used: armoured, clearsigned, detached armoured and detached binary.
* May remove some examples and just discuss the differences, but it
  depends on the way the text is filled out.

75463d5895 doc: Basic operation of the python bindings
* Added sample code for encrypting some text to a single key.
* Basically I'm just lifting existing production code and changing the
  key IDs from mine to "0x12345678DEADBEEF" for these first few
  examples.
* I'll fill in the text description after.
* Note: due to my regional location, I might split some tasks into
  more commits in order to be sure no work gets lost in case of
  emergency (or to put it another way: I know Telstra too well to
  trust them).

a98f2c556f doc-howto: fundamental aspects of GPGME vs Python
* Added a section for those pythonistas who are too used to web
  programming.  Stressed that it's not simply not RESTful, it's not
  even REST-like.
* Letting me move on to drawing a very loose parallel between a
  session and a context.  The differences should become obvious in the
  subsequent sections.

e8adab68f8 doc: Added multiple TODOs for inclusion in the HOWTO
* Some instructions to include are fairly obvious; as with encryption,
  decryption and signature verification.
* Some are a little less obvious.
* This includes the requests received to specifically include subkey
  management (adding and revoking subkeys on a primary key that's
  being retained.
* Added the UID equivalents to the list, as well as key selection
  matters (and may or may not include something for handling group
  lines since that involves wrapping a CLI binary).
* Key control documentation and examples requested by Mike Ingle of
  confidantmail.org.

3a746d5d46 copyright fix

  archived).
