I would also be interested in knowing if there is any work underway to make
it work with X.509 certficates.  In the corporate world X.509, S/MIME, and
PKI are words that tend to carry more weight than PGP or GPG.  I think that
this is a fairly critical area for evolution to be able to compete with
Netscape and Notes (and likely others) in the client arena.

If this is just a matter of having hooks available to execute the proper
commands, I think that openssl provides all the necessary commands.  They
could use some gui and text wrappers for signing, encrypting, managing
trusted certificate authorities, managing revocation lists, etc.
