I don't think it makes any sense to try to replace the crypto 
infrastructure (OpenPGP and S/MIME) in KMail by some Qt Crypto 
Architecture approach. It took two commercial projects to get it right.

You wrote that there's a provider using gnupg. Does it use gpgme or the 
gpg-command? If it uses the latter then you better dump it immediately. 
If you want to interface with gpg then using gpgme is a must (say the 
GnuPG developers). Note, that we have nice wrappers in kdepim: gpgmepp 
(which obviously is a C++ wrapper for gpgme) and qgpgme (which mainly 
adds Qt event loop integration).

Ingo
