#9 Allow use of GPG keys with passphrase

[Anonymous]

In some cases it would be preferable to use a
passphrase with GPG.
Can DIBS be made to read the passphrase for the GPG
key from it's configuration?

In theory this shouldn't be too hard to implement, but in
the past GPG's batch mode wouldn't let you supply a
passphrase. Perhaps more recent versions of GPG allow this.

Personally, I don't see why you would want to supply a
passphrase that is in the configutation file. That will not
be any more secure than having a blank passphrase since if
someone can get your GPG key they can just as easily get
your config file. Consequently, I'm marking this with a low
priority. I'll try to get to it, but some of the bugs need
to be fixed first.

Of course, people are always welcome to look at the source
and submit a patch.
