Portable TCL-based crypto

The work Strick is doing sounds very much like what I am looking for.
It is too bad about the export and usage restrictions but perhaps other
packages can be incorporated in the future which are more freely
available.  TCL itself appears to be widely ported and sounds like a
good foundation for this project.  I am hoping to learn more about it
soon.

I do have some concerns about the portability of the gmp library
specifically, but I know that the md4, md5, and rsaref packages are
very portable.  I guess we're not supposed to use rsaref as a "bare"
mp library, though.

Please keep us informed about the progress of this package!  I'm sure
many people on the list would be interested in beta testing when you
are ready.

 I wanted to trump up a library-like interface using TCL for PGP 2.3[a],
but was told that the "library" will be in the next release.  So I haven't
worked on it.  If the next release of PGP with the library hooks is
<<much hand waving>> some extended time in the future, then I'd go ahead
and do it.  But I haven't been able to get any kind of answer or clue
as to when it will come out.

  Anyone know when the next release of PGP is due?  I'd really really
like to have TCL hooks for some projects, but don't want to waste my
time if I'll only have to start over with PGP X.X (where X.X is > 2.3a).
