+ o SILC PKCS (silcpkcs.h) reorganizing when other PK supports added.
+   Move the SILC Public Key routines away from the crypto library into
+   the core library (silccore).  silc_pkcs_public/private_key_* routines
+   to silc_public/private_key_* routines.  The silc_public_key_* routines
+   should also automatically handle SILC Public Keys, and other keys
+   and certificates as well.  Add fe. silcpk.h into silccore.  It should
+   also include the Public Key Payload encoding and decoding routines.

  o Compression routines are missing.  The protocol supports packet
    compression thus it must be implemented.  SILC Zip API must be

-       o Scheduler can be optimized for FD tasks by changing the fd_queue
-         to SilcHashTable instead of using linked list.  We need to do
-         one-to-one mapping of FD to task and hash table is more efficient
-         for this usage.
-
-         Also redefine the silc_select to perhaps return a separate
-         structure of the events that actually occurred, instead of
-         returning the events in the fd_list which is then traversed
-         in the generic code to find the changed events.  This can be
-         made faster by having own struct which includes only the
-         changed events, thus the tarversing is faster since the whole
-         fd_list is not traversed anymore (it is still traversed in the
-         silc_select but at least it removes one extra tarversing later
-         for the same list).

+        o Another SERVER_SIGNOFF opt/bugfix:  Currently the signoff is
+          sent to a client if it is on same channel as the client that
+          signoffed.  However, the entire SERVER_SIGNOFF list is sent to
+          the client, ie. it may receive clients that was not on the 
+          same channel.  This is actually against the specs.  It must be
+          done per channel.  It shouldn't receive the whole list just
+          because one client happened to be on same channel.
