Libgcrypt is a libary of cryptgraphic building blocks. You can't use
it instantly to encrypt files. You first need to come up with a
protocol on how the encryption should work and then implement this
protocol. The crypto stuff is only a small part. If you want to look
at such a protocol, see rfc2440.
