Technically this is not required.  GPGME has been designed to allow
running the engines as co-process, communicating over pipes with gpg.
This has already been implemented for gpgsm (aka S/MIME), but not yet
for gpg.  That plan is to also have gpg running as a co-process.  There
is already some code in gpg to do this for verify but it needs to be
extended.

I once started tgpg as a simple OpenPGP library; but that is not what
you want.

My I race my hand ;-)
