It's not clear to me what branch you're specifically talking about.  I
see no branches named anything like "new opencdk" or "development" --
do you mean "gnutls_with_ext_mpi" ?

In my message on the "2.6.x goals" thread [0], i asked if me doing
work on these would be likely to collide with anyone else's work, and
got no response from you.  It would be useful for collaboration if we
can communicate with each other about this sort of thing.  Sorry for
the miscommunication from my end!

If the branch you're referring to *is* gnutls_with_ext_mpi, then it's
not clear to me how to port this properly.  CDK_PKT_SYMKEY_ENC is the
packet type whose parser contained the code i ended up moving into
read_s2k.  But CDK_PKT_SYMKEY_ENC appears to have been removed from
opencdk.h on the gnutls_with_ext_mpi branch, despite being clearly
defined in the standard [1].  Any reason this was removed?  It seems
like a useful packet type for OpenCDK to be able to handle.

I'm attaching an (untested) patch against the gnutls_with_ext_mpi
branch, which at least fleshes out the read_s2k function.

It's untested because when i still don't know how to build from the
git repo.  The developer's site says [2] "Build GnuTLS/libtasn1 by
running 'make' twice (once to run autoreconf and configure and another
time to build the code)", but when i try, even the first make fails:

Any advice or pointers to better documentation would be welcome!
