Using an auxiliary file seemed like a weakening of security.  I asked a
friend of mine if this was so, he agreed it wasn't so good, which is why I
wanted to avoid even the one-liner shell script I'm currently calling as a
intermediary to gpg.

Isn't there a way to suppress the argument listing?  I know that, under
FreeBSD current, you can't even see the environment unless you're root or
the owning user.
