Until now it is quite limited.  For OpenPGP the code is currently only
able to detect the type of armored files.  For CMS a real binary parser
is included (very basic but sufficient).

Not yet, not yet, unknown.

trustdb is internal to gpg and thus the format is not of any interest
to other software.

I consider it more important to have an interface which can be used now.
Adding an OpenPGP parser can be done for the next release.  I have some
code for this somewhere but it needs to be mangled for the new purpose.


Shalom-Salam,
