Use openssl. Or another simple program offering symmetric encryption/
decryption with AES.

GnuPG is a tool for public key encryption. The fact that it can also be used 
for symmetric encryption doesn't mean that it's the best tool for symmetric 
encryption. You want to decrypt files without using gpg-agent? Then don't use 
gpg.
