Seriously?  Really?  Well, okay ... this is for GnuPG 1.4.11 on a *nix
platform:

Extract the tarball, cd to /path/to/gnupg-1.4.11/g10 then open
keygen.c in a text editor.  Jump down to line no. 1,580 and change
this:

  unsigned nbits, min, def=2048, max=4096;

To this:

  unsigned nbits, min, def=2048, max=16384;

Then do the configure, make, make install dance.

There are, of course, no guarantees that this will play nice with
others and if you're trying to do this on Windows, I can't help.


Regards,
Ben
