Encrypting SubFolders

[Ryan Malayter]

Didn't think about that recursion problem.

The for command can parse the file extensions using the variable modifer
"~x". This is described near the bottom of the FOR help screens.

You can then use the IF NOT command to see if the file to be encrypted
is already a GPG file, like so:

   FOR /R c:\temp %f IN (*) DO IF NOT %~xf==gpg gpg --encrypt %f

As you mentioned, you need to replace the % with %% if you're going to
use this inside a batch file.

Regards,
	Ryan
