Make a trust signature. This is a signature that combines the notions
of certification (like a regular signature), and trust (like the
"trust" command). It is generally only useful in distinct communities

Set the list of user ID preferences to &ParmString;, this should be a
string similar to the one printed by "pref". Using an empty string
will set the default preference string, using "none" will set the
preferences to nil. Use "gpg -v --version" to get a list of available
preferences to nil. Use "gpg --version" to get a list of available
algorithms. This command just initializes an internal list and does
not change anything unless another command (such as "updpref") which
changes the self-signatures is used.
