Ah, from Werner's reply in
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2011-August/042735.html>
it would seem like gpgv would not lose such ability, only gpg, which
does not look that bad, I got the impression from your comment, support
for this was/would get removed from the entire gnupg project.
Thanks for the pointers.
