gnome-keyring Gnome keyring refactoring

[Stef <stef-list memberwebs com>]

A heads up ... There's a major refactoring afoot in the gnome-keyring
sources. This is to make them more hackable and testable, and hopefully
encourage more participation.


INDIVIDUAL PKCS#11 MODULES

 - ssh-store (exposes ~/.ssh/ keys as a PKCS#11 module)
 - roots-store (exposes /etc/ssl/certs/ as a PKCS#11 module)
 - user-store (user writable key and certificate store)

The above are individually testable, and don't integrate with the rest
of the daemon. Integration comes in layers above.


OTHER PKCS#11 LAYERS

 - rpc-layer (the module that 'remotes' PKCS#11 to the daemon)
 - auth-layer (integrates with the daemon, for password auth caching)
 - plex-layer (combines multiple PKCS#11 module into one)

Again these are individually testable, hackable, with only the
auth-layer actually being bound to gnome-keyring-daemon.


PKCS#11 CONSUMERS

 - ssh-agent (Exposes openssh agent ontop of a PKCS#11 module)



Much of the above coding is complete, and I've just integrated the
following components into the daemon: ssh-agent, ssh-store, auth-layer

More commits and integration to come over the next couple weeks. I'll
also be working on documenting our gnome-keyring stack and it's various
parts in more detail.


Cheers,

Stef Walter
