Well, there's a texinfo Manual, have a look at that.  Besides that you
can find several test programs beneath the directory `tests'.

That's not too hard and covered by tests/pubkey.c.  For your

asymmetric cryptography will be included in the CVS version, which is
easier to use in my opinion, since the user does not have to work with
S-expressions.
