Secret Sharing

[Sergi Blanch i Torné]

Hi!

I want to encourage you in this project. It looks very nice to have something 
about secret sharing to play. I can share my experience (to help you to avoid 
mystakes that I did) writing a patch.

The first that I can advise you is to read, read and read code. Not only the 
GnuPG's ones, but specially these. In the ecc patch I didn't follow the 
coding style and this makes hard a good adequacy. Some one else (Werner 
probably, but authors file doesn't say it specifically, correct me if I 
mistake) did it. This is an overload that if you work fine would be bypassed.

IMHO, is important to receive feedbacks, specially to realize that you are not 
alone. Also publish it under a free software license when you have something 
usable.

Good luck!

/Sergi.
