Patch:
 http://www.jabberwocky.com/crypto/gnupg/patch.gnupg-1.0.6.dms.sigclass.1

Before you sign, GnuPG will prompt you for which level of
certification you want to use.  Answer "?" for an explanation of the
different levels.

This also changes key listings (in --edit-key and --list-sigs) to show
which certification level was used in making the signature.

No claim made as to how well it was checked:
 sig        3CB3B415 2001-10-14  David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

Key was not checked at all:
 sig 1      3CB3B415 2001-10-14  David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

Key was checked casually:
 sig 2      3CB3B415 2001-10-14  David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

Key was checked extensively:
 sig 3      3CB3B415 2001-10-14  David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

Comments welcome.
