It could be done with not too much code if you don't want to be able
to decode all OpenPGP messages. If you use full 4 byte packet length
headers and no compression you should be able to do everything
statically. You need the string-to-key mangling code (S2K), a SHA-1
implementation and AES.
This won't be a OpenPGP compliant implementation but at least it
creates OpenPGP compliant messages.
