Depending on what you need, you may also want to look at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle. It's goals and level of
abstraction is quite different from gcrypt's, though. It includes a
reference manual. The 1.0 version didn't include any public-key stuff;
the version currently in cvs includes some rsa code and an optional
RSAREF-compatible interface to it. Help and comments on both code and
API design are welcome.

Best regards,

PS. Werner, let me know if you want me to stop "marketing" Nettle on
this list, and I'll comply. There's currently no Nettle-specific
mailing list.
