If you dig really deep for my name (probably not current email tho)
and GPG in the PHP archvies, you'll find a long-running thread about
using http://php.net/exec to run gpg

WARNING:
This exposes your data to 'ps' and 'top' and that ilk...

Better to use http://php.net/popen once you've hammered out the "fun"
parts...

All the different crypts are using different algorithms -- that's
rather the whole point of them all having different names and stuff.
:-)

I'm not sure any of them are similar enough to GPG to be useful, but I
*think* you could use some of them to generate key-pairs not unlike
GPG and then use them in a similar way to GPG...
