[PLUG] dlkern v52 released

[darxus@chaosreigns.com]

The only other time I believe I mentioned this to this list was almost
exactly half a year ago.  There have been a few revisions since then...

http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/dlkern.html

There's example output there.  It just downloads the linux kernel.  Well.  
And verifies its signiture via gpg.  mct's provided a couple patches.

There have been a lot of revisions lately (21 in the past 6 days, I
think).  I'd greatly appreciate bug reports.  I just reposted this thing
to freshmeat.net.
