intro = """
This script creates a temporary directory to use as a homedir for
testing key generation tasks with the correct permissions, along
with a gpg.conf file containing the same configuration options
listed in the HOWTO.

You may wish to change the order of the cipher preferences or
remove those not relevant to your installation.  These
configuration parameters assume that all ciphers and digests are
installed and available rather than limiting to the default
ciphers and digests.

The script prompts for a directory name to be installed as a hidden
directory in the user's home directory on POSIX systems.  So if you
enter "gnupg-temp" on a Linux, BSD or OS X system, it will create
"~/.gnupg-temp" (you do not need to enter the leading dot).

This script has not been tested on Windows systems and may have
unpredictable results.  That said, it will not delete or copy over
existing data.

If the directory already exists, the script will terminate with a
message telling you to specify a new directory name.  There is no
default directory name.
