No worries, I'm not demanding anything, just trying to figure out if what I
want to do is appropriate, and, if so, what the best way to do it is :)

So, to be clear, the reason this isn't in GPGME isn't because what I'm
doing is fundamentally wrong, it's just that the gpgme equivalent of the
way you'd currently do it using the gpg command line tool can be used for
things gpg doesn't intend to support (specifically, key escrow).

Or, perhaps more specifically: what I want isn't wrong, but the only way to
accomplish it is using the gpg command line tool, there are good reasons
for this, and I should just use the gpg command line tool? :)

cheers
