Monkeysign will not be ported to zbar or pygtk3. There is already
another alternative (GNOME keysign) which does what monkeyscan does, and
better.

I will probably replace all of monkeyscan's code with this simple shell
command:

    zenity --error --text="Monkeyscan has been removed from Monkeysign. Use 
GNOME keysign instead." --width 400

But I will focus on porting to Python 3 first..
