Merged in my changes, after disk crash. Fortunately the CVS was not

affected - but everything else and it seems that there is no backup of
the BTS data is available :-(

@item ---allow-non-selfsigned-uid
Allow the import of keys with user IDs which are not self-signed, but
have at least one signature.
This only allows the import - key validation will fail and you
have to check the validity of the key by other means. This hack is
needed for some German keys generated with pgp 2.6.3in. You should really
avoid using it, because OpenPGP has better mechanics to do separate signing
and encryption keys.
