To make sure I understand you, you can _NOT_ use the existing programs
which are available (for example WinPT and GPGol), right?

If you need to start from scratch, you should make sure that you are
able to import functions from a Windows DLL, because GPGME is the
de-facto standard interface lib to GPG. If you also plan to write a
new GPG interface lib, you can use any language.


Most of the available GPG "related" code is written in C/C++ and
then Java/C#.
