If you save that public key block that the MIT server spits out as
KEYS, and then a:

gpg --import KEYS

should do what you want. The key won't be trusted until we sign each
others (or some mutually trusted key signs both etc.). On the --verify
bit, you will get "key is not trusted" message after the "Good
Signature" message.


Yep ... that worked.  I got the "good signature" and "untrusted" messages.

I should have mentioned also what Wendy said ... we should follow the best
practice of maintaining our KEYS file in SVN ... if I remember right, it's
only on the website at the moment.
