|     decrypt something to stdout | xvile | encrypt the file again

xvile can read directly from a pipe (just tested...).
To write the encrypted file, you would have to do something with a macro
as I did for "vile-pager".  Since vile does not know about shell ">",
you'd have to do some workaround (write to a special device) to make it
do standard output.
