I disagree, becausing making one big tool (when using multiple small tools
is available) is counter to the normal Unix method.  The effect will be
the same (having deltas signed before they're sent).  Why is forcing ctm
itself to do the signing better?

I want to have mkCTM (the existing script that manages the ctm
building process) do it.  I better admit that the copy of mkCTM that's in
the sources is a little dated.  I use a slightly modified one.  When I get
the signing in, I'll update the sources with the new one.
