Control: severity -1 wishlist

Hi Matthijs,

If no UID(s) is (are) selected, gpg wants to make sure you really intend
to sign all UIDs.  So a workaround is to preselect all UIDs; with gpg2
it's can be done in one go with a single command in the prompt: ‘uid *’
(OTOH if you use the 1.4 branch, as of 1.4.18 you'll have to select each
UID manually.)

So it could be done by starting your gpg2 prompt as follows: 

  gpg2 --local-user 3798AF15A1565658 \
       --homedir=/home/matthijs/.caff/gnupghome \
       --secret-keyring /home/matthijs/.gnupg/secring.gpg \
       --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model=always \
       --edit-key 98E0D178DCB90C1945C50DB1ED0DD3368DE40924 \
       showphoto 'uid *' sign

I'll think of the possible drawbacks of making it the default (with gpg2
at least).  Another possibility would be to have a configuration option
containing all commands at once:

  $CONFIG{'gpg-command'} = [ 'showphoto', 'uid *', 'sign', 'save' ];

Suggestions welcome ;-)

Cheers,
