The keyserver support in GPA was still at version 0, while GnuPG moved
on to version 1.

I have hacked some minimal support for version 1.  I am not sure it is
very robust, but it seems to do the job.  I also changed the default
server.  In SVN (wald.intevation.org):

2005-11-08  Marcus Brinkmann  <[email protected]>

        * server_access.c (write_command): New argument scheme.
        (server_send_keys): Also to invocation.
        (server_get_key): Likewise.
        (check_errors): Don't look for errors if the exit status looks OK.
        * keyserver.c (keyserver_read_list): Use HKP server as default,
        drop LDAP surfnet server (seems to be down).

Thanks,
Marcus
