New option --recipient-file

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

I just pushed the code for a new feature.  With 

  gpg --recipient-file FILENAME -e

or

  gpg -f FILENAME -e

it is now possible to bypass the keyring and take the public key
directly from a file.  That file may be a binary or an ascii armored key
and only the first keyblock from that file is used.  A key specified
with this option is always fully trusted.

This option may be mixed with the standard -r options.
--hidden-recipient-file (or -F) is also available.

To futher assist some use cases the option

  --no-keyring

has also been implemented.  This is similar to

  --no-default-keyring --keyring /dev/null

but portable to Windows and also ignores any keyring specified (command
line or config file).



Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
