Getting GPG to not create configfiles?

[Samuel ]slund]

Hi


I have not used any more reacent version of GnuPG than 1.0.6 but i can not
remember anything about this in the anouncements.

A while ago I had a reason to use GPG for symetric encryption,
specifically I vas going to give it and a passphrase to someone else to
get some files across when I was away. I could not find any way to tell
it not to create the (unneccessary) configuration files before
symetrically encrypting a message.

Are there such a switch in the new version of GnuPG?
