I dont know if this is the right place to send this. If not, tell me
where's better. This was so simple to add, I'm surprised that it
wasn't already part of the code.
This patch to gpg 1.0.3 adds a new option, "--compress-level", which
controls the compression level used by zlib. It's just like the
existing -z option, except that it can also be set in the
~/.gnupg/options file, which is really the better place to put it.
If you have CPU cycles to burn (and we all do), just put
"compress-level 9" in your options file.
