[guardian-dev] Using an specific keyserver with GnuPg for Android

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

My first guess is that some part of openldap or GnuPG's LDAP support needs to
be ported to Android, since Android's libc (aka Bionic) is very minimal.
Patches are most very welcome.  Feel free to post questions here or in IRC.
