Right, this is a problem and there is no easy way to solve
it. passphrase-fd does only work with a single passphrase; changing
it to read the passphrase at the time it is needed will break a couple
of applications which assume that the passphrase is read right as the
first line on stdin (they then proceed by feeding the input text to stdin).

A better way to handle this is by using --command-fd like GPGME does it
(see gpgme/sign.c on how to do it).

Huh? I never noticed such a problem.  But I have not yet tested on
Windows - expect problems there.
