Daniel suggested inserting a dummy handler if we don't have the GPG
agent support. I think that may be the only reasonable solution for both
trunk and 1.9.1 (or .x if we don't thing it's important enough for .1).
The real effort here is double-checking that a dummy handler won't break
credentials resolution.
