[guardian-dev] shared Java lib for accessing OpenPGP keyservers

[Dominik Schürmann]

Sure, good idea.

Just break out the parts you need from OpenPGP Keychain and put them in
a library. I think most of keyserver parts are pretty simple code
contributed by senecaso under Apache v2 [0]
I would then alo switch to this lib to share it between both projects.

I would keep the code without any dependencies on activities, so that
every project can build upon that using their own gui.
