>Description:
        (also a pgp <argument> --> tells you what version you have and
                                    exits normally would be nice; suggest
                                    --version, -v, and/or -V)

        pgp -fc < somefile > somefile  or cat bigfile | pgp -fc | ssh ...
                generates a great big temporary file in the directory
                in which pgp is invoked

        this is bad when bigfile above is big (or is an invocation of dump or tar)

        it would be very very very cool if it actually streamed

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /somewhere
	dump 0ubsdf 50 6000 54000 - / | gzip --best -v | \
	pgp -fc | ssh -o 'Compression no' -l smd somebox:/backups/smd/... &

	ls -latr
