Ira, how is this different from:

- --multifile --encrypt
- --multifile --decrypt
- --multifile --verify
(alternatively)
- --encrypt-files
- --decrypt-files
- --verify-files

where you list the files on the command line or read
them on STDIN?  It won't handle detached signatures.
If you give Daniel a sample you will probably get your
answer much qucker.  Let us know what the end result
is, especially if there is a happy solution.
