I think what needs to happen is MatchKeys needs to be extended to
search remotely as well.  I'm in the middle of getting ready for a
conference and don't have time to look at it and I can't speak for
Stef.  You ought to find code similar to what would need to extend it
in how the 'seahorse' program searches for keys.  I can probably find
time to help explain things if you have questions.
