Description
In crypt.awk, the key file and source are not passed to keyscript, which makes it less useful if a program, like gpg, where to decrypt the keyfile before using it for a key slot.
I have added this to a slightly modified crypt.awk from a branch.
Hope it will be included.

Research direction
Start by reading crypt.awk and locate where keyscript is invoked. Trace how the key file and source are available at that point, then verify that both are passed to keyscript as requested. Done means a keyscript can use those values to decrypt or otherwise prepare a key file before it is used for a key slot.
