Summary:                    provide a command-line switch for use_gpg
configuration option
Description: 
There is a nice configuration option "use_gpg" for installing only signed
packages.

When using an experimental catalog with -t (like the ones from
http://mirror.opencsw.org/experimental.html ), for test releases
the packages are not signed with the usual key.

It would be nice to be able to toggle this option on the command line.
With the -t switch it's easy to use experimental catalogs, but I still
would want to use "use_gpg" for the distribution catalog.

I need to keep new command line options somewhat restricted, it's getting
to be a lot already! :-) There's another bug report,
http://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4045, that requests a --param
option that can take any pkgutil.conf option and override it.

That would produce:

# pkgutil --param use_gpg=false -t
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/alternatives -i foo

Would that work for you as well?
