    I started a project that does just this back in November 2002.
Gaim + libgcrypt = Ultramagnetic (http://ultramagnetic.sourceforge.net/)

    Please have a look at what I've created already.  Its currently
in beta, but is rapidly maturing.  Essentially, the only missing
features that prevent this project from declaring a stable release
is more testing and an ECB mode-to-CTR/CBC mode patch.

    Win32 support works, kind of.  Ultramagnetic currently uses
libgcrypt v1.1.12 because v1.1.42 deadlocks due to some kind of
thread library conflict with GTK/GDK.  And from experience, Win32
doesn't like v1.1.12 too much so Windows support is a little
shaky at the moment.  I hope to fix this soon.

    I've been working on this project entirely by myself for the
last ten months.  I'd be more than happy to welcome another
developer aboard!
