[OpenID] cryptographics web of trust

[Peter Williams]

Vast improvement achieved after fiddling around (blindly) some more:-

1. One must have the 88k variety of version 2.0.0.0 of Boo.Lang in the
runtime load path.

2. Mono.Security (2.0.0.0) must be (manually) placed into the bin/
directory of the build tree for use by nunit(1)

Most unit tests now complete ok. Which makes this half day investment
now be all worthwhile.


Now I can bother comprehending what the various modules do; and change
them. The code seems intuitive at first glance - one code module for
each message type in the protocol.

I took about half a day (this first time), but on Windows 2003 SP.latest
one can compile the source (with Boo Compiler version 0.7.8.2559 (CLR
v2.0.50727.832), and NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2478.0; release;
10/14/2006)), after some minor porting. 

In summary, I have low confidence the libraries are "well built",
however. Unit tests failed.
