There are some candidate passphrases.  I tried them all with rephrase and all 
the permutations that I could think of.

Now I am trying app-crypt/nasty, for brute force cracking, but I can't get it 
to work.  :-(

It keeps popping up my pinentry and asking me for my default key passphrase, 
not the key I am trying to feed to it.

Is there a way to change that script I posted so that it a)takes the 
passphrases from a file, or b)incrementally tries {a,b,...,z}, and/or capitals 
and/or numbers?
