we do two things with gpg:
 - sign
 - verify

I'm pro using james henstridges bindings for gpgme for verification, as
it gives us the details we need.

I dont think it makes sense to use gpgme for signing - the library does
not add value there, and having different signing programs is
exceedingly useful.

Also note that gpgme forks and execs gpg, so its no more capable of
dealing with this than we are.
