==================

if the "user" that owns the process is doing all/most of the gpg usage 
that way, they ~probably~ don't have any other keyrings in their options 
file, but may find it convenient to set other things there.

might be best to specify "--options file" and have a special file for the 
script that uses it in this non-standard way.
