Verifying multiple detached cleartext sig's

Let's say you have a file which needs to be signed by multiple people. One
thing to do is have each person create an individual detached cleartext
signature, and then put all of them into one signature file.

* In pgp6.5.1 if you verify such a file it will automatically verify all
  of these signatures.

* However, as far as I can tell, in gpg (up through v0.9.11), only the
  first signature is verified.

Perhaps this could be changed so that all signatures in a given file are
automatically verified?  -Todd Brooks
