  Description     : Allows you to quickly and easily sign each UID on a PGP keyring

This program allows you to sign all the keys in a keyring without
requiring separate invocations for each key.  Many signing parties
distribute a party keyring containing all of the participants keys.
This utility can reduce the time spent signing a large about of keys
from hours to less than a single hour.

From the Author's website:

> That can already be time consuming, but preferably, you want to verify
> the identity in each UID, which means verifying the email addresses.
> There are a few ways to do this, but one of them is to sign each UID
> on the key individually (which requires import-sign-export-delete for
> each UID), encrypt-emailing that key to the email address in the UID.
> This can be incredibly time consuming.
> 
> That's where pius comes in. Pius will do all the work for you - all
> you have to do is confirm the fingerprint for each key. It will then
> take care of signing each UID cleanly, minimizing the key, and using
> PGP/Mime email to send it, encrypted, to the email address in the UID.
