My aim was to write such a package, based on crypt++ but without all
the bells and whistles (to be called gencrypt.el). I was doing it
specifically for Gnus, because that's where I need the encryption, but
it was supposed to be general use. I got started on it and get pretty
far before I found out (wrongly, it's apparent now) it wouldn't
integrate with Gnus due to the crypto restrictions.
I'll resume work on gnus-encrypt.el, which will contain empty hooks
for encryption, and gencrypt.el, which will use those hooks.
Thanks
Ted
