removing old rhesus and howler components as they have been made
defunct by the new monkeysphere and monkeysphere-server tools (I probably could have figured out a way to transition from them smoother, but I didn't. oh well.).

-rhesus is the monkeysphere authorized_keys/known_hosts generator.
-
-In authorized_keys mode, rhesus takes an auth_user_ids file, which
-contains gpg user ids, uses gpg to fetch the keys of the specified
-users, does a monkeysphere policy check on each id, and uses gpg2ssh
-to generate authorized_keys lines for each verified id. The lines are
-then combined with a user's traditional authorized_keys file to create
-a new authorized_keys file.
-
-In known_hosts mode, rhesus takes an auth_host_ids file, which
-contains gpg user ids of the form ssh://URL, uses gpg to fetch the
-keys of the specified hosts, does a monkeysphere policy check on each
-id, and uses gpg2ssh to generate a known_hosts lines for each verified
-id. The lines are then combined with a user's traditional known_hosts
-file to create a new known_hosts file.
-
-When run as a normal user, no special configuration is needed.
-
-When run as an administrator to update system-maintained
-authorized_keys files for each user, the following environment
-variables should be defined first:
-
- MS_CONF=/etc/monkeysphere/monkeysphere.conf
- USER=foo
-
-For example, the command might be run like this:
-
- for USER in $(ls -1 /home) ; do
- MS_CONF=/etc/monkeysphere/monkeysphere.conf rhesus --authorized_keys
- done
