I need to correct what I said here. The DSAPlugin in Cryptography *does*
compile cleanly, I'm not sure what my earlier problem was. I also did a
closer comparison of the DSAPlugin in VMMaker versus the one one Cryptography,
and they are the same except for method time stamps and a trivial formatting
difference.

Therefore the open issues I see for DSAPlugin are:

1) Which repository/package should DSAPlugin be in?

2) Why isn't the cmake build working for generating the plugin?

Question 1) should be at the discretion of the authors/maintainers of the
Cryptography plugins, and 2) is probably just a glitch in the build configuration.

FWIW, my personal preference would be to use the plugins directly from the
Cryptography repository, deleting the DSAPlugin in VMMaker (trunk + oscog),
and updating configuration maps or build scripts to point to Cryptography.
