un-trusting MD5 in gpg

I'll give David's patch a try shortly, just to see how much of my
OpenPGP-related workflow breaks.  I'll report back here with anything
interesting that i find.

Wouldn't it make more sense to return G10ERR_DIGEST_ALGO instead of
G10ERR_BAD_SIGN, though?  libgpg-error suggests that it means "Invalid
Digest Algorithm".  Any reason i shouldn't do that instead?

Yes, something like --disable-digest-algo is the direction i think gpg
should be heading.
