This is wrong! gnutls_openpgp_keyid_t with the above typedef is just a
pointer type meaning it has 4 bytes in 32-bit systems. I made the
definition like that to make clear to the caller that 8-bytes should
be allocated, but it seems this obscure typedef is confusing. It might
be better to be replaced with a simple pointer type.
