The latest CVS version of GPG (1.0.6d) supports some new commands
for this purpose. With --encrypt-files you can encrypt more then
one file in a row. And the same for decryption with --decrypt-files.

In some cases scripts may be more handy but especially for the W32
environment this commands should provide an easy way for handling
more files with one process call.
