Mac OS X 10.3 or later comes with a command line interface
/usr/bin/security for keychains.  Did you try it?  Or do you mean it
was not sufficient with respect to functionality or security?

A merit of the use of an external program is that we can use it
regardless of several builds on the platform including TTY-only and
X11.
