Indeed, it is missing.  There was no need for it yet.

No: ...caller has to make sure that this buffer is valid until
gpgme_release_data() is called.

Depends on whther copy is set or not.  If it is not set, you should
not be able to change the data, or perhaps you can do that by modifying
the file directly (mmap-ing the file seems to be a good wayt to
implement it).

Micalg is selected from the set of recipients, no need to specify it.

Ditto.  I think it does _by now_ not make sense to implement every
feature GnuPG provides in GpgME.

Ciao,
