What's wrong with gpgme, then?

It's encryption system neutral, desktop neutral, mt-safe, provides both sync 
and async interfaces (including integration into GTK and Qt event loops), is 
there for years, has turned 1.0 last year, is used in KMail, mutt, Sylpheed, 
Kleopatra, KAddressBook, and probably lots of other MUAs.

I've based gpgme++, qgpgme and libkleopatra onto it's API, so naturally, I 
don't want to see us wasting effort and bandwidth on something that already 
exists.
