Hmm, is it not enough to do the following?

    1. Read all data from stdin and write it to a tempfile.
    2. Sign the tempfile.
    3. Encrypt the signed file.

When yes, pgpgpg will do this in one of the next releases. (However, the
next release of pgpgpg will take some weeks, because I'm working on the
GnuPG abstraction layer called Privacy Guard Glue [1]).
