don't. it's utter poop. the current pipe mechanism is crap. there's one
gnupg "interface" lib but iirc it doesn't hide the pipe mechanism so it's
kind of useless.
you might as well just make balsa of mutt's gpg code.

well, if seahorse has a good interface it would be easily replacable (on
the users discretion) with something else, prolly after someone do a clean
gnupg interface.
also, for gnome desktops having 1 crypto corba server and all apps using it
it the right thing to do (as opposed to coding gpg and pgp and whatnot support
into all apps)
