Hmm, looks like libnettle (brought in with GnuTLS) already provides most
of the infrastructure needed.  The question for me is, should I bother
with a full OpenPGP signature emulation, or is it sufficient to
implement RSA/DSA/EC-based signatures for Emacs internal use only?  The
latter is going to be much less work; it's basically exposing the
functions in http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html#RSA
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html#DSA
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html#Elliptic-curves to
Emacs.
