I'll try to find the time to make this a proper feature of pgg.  (I
also added the original author to the cc, so he might add his
thoughts)

Ken, please let me know if it works for you, and what features you are
missing.

One problem, though: pgg supports, besides gnupg, pgp and pgp5 -- I
don't have any version of pgp on my box, and I'm not willing to buy a
proprietary product to write these patches.  So, to make the symmetric
encryption feature work with these backends, I would need help by
people, who can tell me about the needed switches for pgp and test the
patches with different versions of pgp...

cheers
