Need to distinguish between g10_log_info and g10_log_error

[Oleg V. Zhylin]

  Yes, you're right. Up to recently I've used $LASTEXITCODE to check for errors. $LASTEXITCODE and $? are two quite related ones

  As far as gpg concerned looks like it doesn't affect $LASTEXITCODE at all. I suspect this is because Powershell doesn't treat it as win32 executable. But $? works just fine, thanks.

  BTW I had to overcome another problem before my script started functioning as it is suppsed to. The error message

gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected

 stably renders $?=False and I couldn't find any command-line settings to amend this. In my current situation I do have public key of the sender, it is just not at default $GNUPGHOME. But potentially one can run into situation when he doesn't have author's public key and its impossible to retrieve one. Still, decrypting a file means "success" for this person.
