crypt++.el has a lot of predefined file extensions which jka-compr
misses. I did not check all the features of crypt++.el but I did not
find a way to open a .tar.gz.

In jka-compr I only found configuration for gzip compression.

crypt++ has compress, gzip, bzip, bzip2, freeze, compact, dos-unix
conversion, mac-unix conversion
crypt++ has crypt, des, des-ecb, pgp, pgp-pub, gpg, mcrypt, rc4.

crypt++ can use recursively the packer functions of emacs like tar and
zip mode together with dired.

If a package wants to replace crypt++el all these functions should work
out of the box without first having to be configured by the user.

If you tell me how all this will work with jka-compr and easypg I will
be more than happy.

Christoph
