i was actually hoping to avoid *me* having to do the extra work of
figuring out how to concatenate the data with the signature.

Do you have a suggestion for how to make such a concatenator for
arbitrary 8-bit data?  Do i need to build an OpenPGP data packet from my
input stream first?  Is there example code of such a concatenator someplace?

I grant that my own code is more likely to be buggy than gpg's.  that's
another good reason for me to not write a concatenator :)

Are you saying there is no way to pass a detached signature via a file
descriptor?

        --dkg
