Hi,

the loop-aes.readme suggests to use the option --s2k-count 8388608 for
generating gpg keys. In short this improves the resitance to dictionary 
attacks.

The attached patch adds this option to the gpg call. This commandline
option is available in gpg 1.4.6 or later.

Thanks for your time,
Thomas
