I dunno. If we get the same ability from Keychain (which is
guaranteed to be available on OS X, iirc), then adding gpg-agent
support seems a bit redundant. We then have to answer questions about
precedence, and possibly add more config, and it just seems messy.
Plus, we haven't really heard much demand for it, anyway.
