 define Package/libgpgme/description
- GPGME (GnuPG Made Easy) is a C language library that allows to add
- support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to
- public key crypto engines like GnuPG or GpgSM easier for applications.
- GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption,
- signing, signature verification and key management.
+  GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for 
+  applications. It provides a High-Level Crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, 
+  signature verification and key management. Currently it uses GnuPG as its backend but 
+  the API isn't restricted to this engine; in fact we have already developed a backend 
+  for CMS (S/MIME).
