[FEATURE REQ, RFC], improving ergonomic HMI fingerprint cross verification

hello @all,

since its little hard to cross-verify fingerprints on websites and
especially over telephone calls with human voice conversation due to the
long hexidecimal printouts of gpg --fingerprint, this could be a
significant issue to the whole openpgp trust verification system
impliing failure on human error.

in short: its good reason therefore to have the old pgp way of option to
print out the fingerprint the "military style", eg. "alpha, delta"
easier and more securely human processable substitutes for "0abc, cd ef"
in gnupg, kgpg and enigmail, maybe interesting for the ägypten projects too.

request for comments and analysis. (?)
