Also important is: which version are you looking at? The 1.4 series (still updated) is intended for smaller/embedded installs, while the 2.x series is intended for mainstream (especially desktop) usage
It's also important to ask why they are even looking at the main gpg executable and not gpgv?
gpgv is a stripped-down version of gnupg which is only able to check signatures. It is smaller than the full-blown gnupg and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that the public keys used to make the signature are trustworthy.
I fail to see why a BIOS would use the kernel of a general-purpose operating system.
Nevertheless that is what coreboot does. It used to be known as LinuxBIOS.
As my signature says: make it yourself

Does the program include its own PNG format algorithms, or am I missing something?
The PNGs generated by the program are simple enough to be constructed more or less one byte at a time.
Same goes for the web server: did he really write his own web server in mills.c?
No, not really. At least not a fully functional one. His "webserver" simply waits for connections, read characters one at a time until it gets an empty line (the end of the HTTP requests), sends the "200 OK" and "Refresh: 1" headers, writes the PNG data directly to the socket and closes the connection. The "webserver" doesn't care what resources you request or if you use "GET", "HEAD", "POST" or something else.

The UK isn't on Zulu time - they have daylight savings time (don't know about Portugal and W. Africa).
DST in the EU starts on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October, so for Portugal it's:
$ TZ=Europe/Lisbon date -d "Oct 27 00:59:59 UTC 2013"
Sun Oct 27 01:59:59 WEST 2013
$ TZ=Europe/Lisbon date -d "Oct 27 01:00:00 UTC 2013"
Sun Oct 27 01:00:00 WET 2013
I don't know the DST rules for the various countries in West Africa, but (shameless plug) tzdata-javascript.org has a demo where you can compare the time in two different timezones.
