I have simple shell script that I've taken from Antoine at once.

which isn't really too fancy - but I don't need to remember which
arguments gpg needs to create PGP 5.x compatible signatures that way.

I think Antoine has added a sign task to commons-openpgp (in Jakarta
Commons' Sandbox) but I've never used it myself.

Yes, please, this might be nice for people living on Unix systems
without InfoZIP (not that they are too common these days).
