I thought it was a bit strange that this wasn't taken into account by the
developers of the reference client, since many Linuxen ship with GNUPG (an
open-source PGP implementation). and its readily available for most other
UNIX-like systems.
I took a different approach-- I added a routine that records orders to a
database. I then added a mechanism to review the orders through an SSL
connection. If you're handy with an HTML preprocessor and aren't afraid of
a little cookbook perl, you can implement something similar in short order.
