Nice job, Murray! Congrats on another release of what is
unquestionably THE best DKIM signing and verifying tool on the plant.
:)

I've tested the new version on CentOS 5.6 and Fedora 12, 13, 14, and
I've updated my blog with the new version's download links and
included the updated flags in the ./configure command:

Keep up the great work!
