Another solution for the same problem is in GnuPG 1.2.2.  1.2.2 comes
with a script "convert-from-106".  If you run it, it automatically
tags all of your secret keys as ultimately trusted.

(As the name suggests, the script is intended for people upgrading
from 1.0.6 or earlier, but it works for this as well).
