[Discuss] Script for signing keys for BLU keysigning

Attached is my bash script for signing keys after a BLU keysigning party.
Usage:

    email-signed-keys.sh [ --local-user keyid ] keyid keyid keyid ....

If you want to sign with a secret key other than your default secret key,
use the "--local-user" option.

The script prompts you to sign each key listed on the command line,
then produces a BSMTP (batch smtp) shar archive to email the
signed and encrypted keys to their owners so that only the person
who has each secret key can read the corresponding email.

To avoid having to retype your pass phrase multiple times, it helps
to run gpg-agent to cache the pass phrase.
