Good news on the crypto front! Both DSA and RSA signatures are now working
(DSA has already been commited).
RSA encryption should follow soon (I just have to finish the various PKCS#1
primitives).

Performance is acceptable except for keypair generation (which can take
ages). I've limited the number of key generation (right now only one 512
bits, minimum, DSA keypair) so you don't suffer too much when running the
test suite (this affects corlib*.dll tests).

Many thanks to Chew Keong TAN (for the BigInteger class) and to Sergey
Chaban (for the mini XML parser).
