Option order is sometimes important

Been a part of gnupg 1.x for ages. I tested it on XP with GnuPG 1.4.8

gpg --batch --passphrase-file <> --output <> --decrypt <>

Here's a test I just did in %TEMP%:

gpg --batch --passphrase-file passphr --output ptshowdown.decrpt.bmp --decrypt
ptshowdown.bmp.asc
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID EF4010D2, created 2003-03-06
      "John P. Clizbe <snip>"

The passphrase file passphr was created with Cygwin's 'echo -n'

There is yet no binary of GnuPG 2.0 for windows
