Hello. 
Is there a particular reason that security/gnupg on FreeBSD does not include
the ecdh/ecdsa algorithm?

$ gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.26
libgcrypt 1.6.1
......
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA
Cipher: IDEA, 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, AES, AES192, AES256, TWOFISH,
        CAMELLIA128, CAMELLIA192, CAMELLIA256
Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2

Whereas, it should be:  Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA

I doubt this is an "export restriction" issue, when
a. Linux distros have this enabled on gnupg and
b. openssl has support for it
This is available in gnupg since 9/2010 (GnuPG 2.1.0  / libgcrypt 1.5.0)

* Is the reason that code has somehow not been merged
(https://code.google.com/p/gnupg-ecc/source/browse/#svn/branches/gpg2ecc)?
* I have not tried security/pgp - I could switch if that has ecdsa enabled?

Regards.
