	Yeah, on account of dtype is solid down.  I sent all the
initial keys to subkeys.pgp.net, but people should re-send them.  I
updated the arch.txt in the stable branch so that it reads:

$ echo 'gpg --default-key "<[email protected]>" --clearsign' > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default
$ echo '/usr/bin/tla-gpg-check gpg_command="gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify-files -"' > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default.check

	Try using that keyserver, anyway.

	We tried to get them to set up, but they insist on verifying
all signatures.  They use subkeys.pgp.net, which is why I chose that
one as the official server.  Unfortunately, they also require that you
mail them with the ID of each key that may come along.  It's pretty
strict, so you'll all have to get in touch with them.
