Update netpgp to version 1.99.20/20100304 - portability improvements, and bug fixes:
Changes to 1.99.20/20100304
+ move args to some functions around to be consistent
+ use uint*_t where appropriate
+ fix bug in verify memory
+ add documentation to manual pages to show how to do combined
signing/encryption and decryption/verification
+ make verification of ascii-armoured memory work the same as binary
+ eliminate use of strdup(3), strcasecmp(3), and strptime(3).
NetBSD/pkgsrc PR 42922 applies - need to define
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE for newer linux platforms with
glibc 2.10.1. solved a bit differently, by implementing
strdup(3) and strcasecmp(3) independently, and using regexps
to avoid calling strptime(3).
