Hello,

Well, actually support for OPENPGP certs was deleted, not only disabled
by default. So elinks should simply use gnutls_set_default_priority()
instead of gnutls_priority_set_direct().

GnuTLS probably will probably accept -CTYPE-OPENPGP in priority strings
in 3.6.5 again. (Treating it as the noop it is.)
