* gpg.sgml: Note the new combinations with --symmetric and --encrypt.
Document --bzip2-compress-level, and --bzip2-compress-lowmem. Clarify the plurarility (or not) of various list and verify options. Document BZIP2 in the --compress-algo section. Warn about compatibility issues with ZLIB and BZIP2.
