Right now, pgg assume that gpg will need a passphrase so it asks the
user for one. It may be better if pgg postpone the passphrase query
until gpg tell pgg that it needs a passphrase. Then it is only
queried for when it is needed. This should be more reliable, but
slightly more complicated to implement (asynchronous code).
Gpg doesn't need a passphrase if the agent is used, or (I guess) if
the key isn't protected with a password. If a smartcard is used, gpg
need a pin code and not a passphrase, I'm not sure pgg can handle this
at all now. (This last point is separate, and wouldn't be solved if
we implement Daiki's idea.)
I may have misunderstood Daiki though...
