We can probably have a patch implementing the API we're working on in alpha sometime in a couple weeks. This isn't really something that's useful to the cryptoapi itself, but it could be used to debug new cryptoapi functions. In addition, cryptoapi will be very useful to the key-ring system, if one is ever made.
