There's `epg-encrypt-string' but it still uses the GPG program under the
covers.

I hope Daiki Ueno could consider augmenting EPA/EPG with
http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/index.en.html, which is a
library specifically designed so we can talk to GPG directly and
securely through C.

I would love to see that happen.  I would contribute to the work in any
way I can, either in EPA/EPG or as a separate effort if Daiki Ueno is
not able or interested to do it.

Ted
