Usage: SET DECRYPT_PROGRAM <decryption program path>
Sets the program used to decrypt messages. The program
selected must take a decryption key as the first line
written to work with ircII, with the second and subsequent
lines the text to be decrypted, which is expected on the
programs standard output.

Note that in ircII 4.4 and previous, this variables program
API was different. Originally the decryption key was the
command line argument, and the program a true filter.
However, it is not secure from local users snooping the
key and being able to encrypt messages, should they obtain
them. Set the OLD_ENCRYPT_PROGRAM variable to ON
to obtain this old behaviour.
