ok, so commons-openpgp would be ok. I'm still thinking commons-crypto is
a good name, but I'll be happy with either. It can always be changed
later when it is expanded I guess.

LOL... I hope this has a fair bit of tongue in cheek :) It's good to
have a long term goal, but I'm not getting that carried away just yet.

As far as I understand, we're only aiming for something that wraps
bouncycastle and/org cryptix (which, at least in BC's case from my
experience,  already does the crypto stuff very well) that is at a
higher level and isolated from the provider's own API. We're just
signing some deployments here, for now :)

Cheers,
Brett
