[KLUG Members] GPG and PHP

I've brought up the latest version of Horde and IMP (3 & 4) at the office,
replacing the older versions (2 & 3).  The new versions support both S/MIME and
GPG/PGP for signing and encrypting e-mail.  The certificates/keys are stored in
the LDAP server, and IMP provides a nice interface for uploading your public
and private keys and then asks you for your pass phrase the first time you send
a message in each session.  But how to get new keys for users who do not already
have them and certainly are not capable of using gpg at a command line (that is
almost funny to think about)?  Does anyone have or know of some PHP code for
letting users generate public/private key pairs online?

The gpg command provides a feature for "unattended generation of keys controlled
by a parameter file" which it seems someone must have used by now.
