For those who have not been part of the various Monkeysphere-related
discussions in the past, what this means is that we now have software
that allows you to take a GPG subkey, transform it into a PKCS#12 client
certificate, and use Apache+mod_gnutls to authenticate someone based on
that GPG identity.

Now that there is a proof of concept for this, if anyone wants to try
and get the same trick to work with a different webserver, that would be
great!
