I've got a partial patch that I never finished for using this with the
gitosis-gentoo fork that powers git.overlays.gentoo.org. It needs
re-implementation from scratch, but here's the design notes:
1. Use the username to open the file in keydir again.
2. At the top, look for RFC822 headers with a leading "# " as padding:
   Examples from my own patch:
   # Full-Name: "Robin H. Johnson (robbat2)" <robbat2@gentoo.org>
   # cia-vc-username: robbat2
   The headers are followed by a blank line then further text is free-form
   and not parsed. Continuation lines are NOT supported.
3. The header field names are transformed to enviornoment variable names
   as follows:
   - y/[[:lower:]]/[[:upper:]]/g
   - s/-/_/g
4. Export the environment variables, named per above, with the full
   content of the rest of the line.

(We need to export the CIA.vc data, and also send off a commit mail).
