nothing to do with the problem itself. GPG uses command line output 
(shell) and has nothing todo with java - i just wanted to compare BC 
with GPG - telling that GPG does interpret the output of the literal 
package as UTF-8 (i looked into the sources and they are converting it 
always to UTF-8).

Ah, I see. We had a problem with the encoding being different on Windows 
vs. Linux, with the getBytes() method being the culprit. Nobody did know 
that the getBytes() method can take an encoding parameter. But if this 
is perfectly clear, and not the core of the problem, I can't help you at 
the moment.
