Change the location of the gpg-agent socket?

[Dick Visser]

It would, but that's not possible, so that's why i was asking.
Background, .gnupg being a configuration directory, and sockets seem
like a weird thing for a configuration directory. System sockets
aren't created in /etc/ either but usually in /var/run or something.
