decrypting a keyring file

Suppose I had a keyring file from a ~/.gnome2/keyrings directory that
was encrypted and I knew the passphrase for it but didn't have an actual
gnome system I could drop it onto to let the keyring daemon read it.

How could I decrypt the file to get the contents out?  I'm not adverse
to development so even code snippets or algorithm pointers would be most
welcome.

Cheers,
b.

Sorry for the delayed answer... There's a tool in gnome-keyring build 
tree that does this. It also tries to handle slightly corrupted key files:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-keyring/tree/pkcs11/secret-store/tests/dump-keyring0-format.c

Does that do the trick?

Cheers,

Stef
