According to http://hp.kairaven.de/pgp/gpg/gpganhang2.html the hash
algorithms are part of GnuPG itself and not of the kernel. That's also
what I thought in the past. If it was not in gpg this would mean it had
to be in the kernels of Windows, OS X, BSD etc. which all be able to run
gpg on. Is that the case?
