I may be missing some point here, but any sufficiently
general MIME parser can be used for multipart/signed,
IMHO.  However, that's not really the topic here.

Mh.  Actually, we are generally trying to keep back-ends
of all kinds (pgp, handlers for individual MIME content
types, ...) in external programs which are invoked from
mutt.  What I imagine is a command line tool which can
easily be used with advanced mail user agents, from the
command line, etc.  I'd prefer not to have to include a
tool of our own with the mutt distribution.
