Attached patch for sksclient.ml lets it take multiple keys on argv and
strips an optional 0x from the front of a keyid.

I only ever learnt any O'Caml for SKS and I'm struggling to remember the
little I learnt last time.  I'm trying to figure out how to create the
equivalent of a Python "generator function", which lets a function
return an iterable object.  The idea being that the startup bit looking
at Sys.argv could check if Sys.argv[1] = "-" and then return something
which iterates over stdin, returning a line at a time (stripping
whitespace) otherwise returning each element of Sys.argv from 1 to the
end.

After all, if Sys.argv won't do then it'll be because of the limits on
size of argv+envp in Unix, so stdin is potentially large, so reading all
of stdin at once is unwise.

I'm trying another approach now but am running into "This expression is
not a function; it cannot be applied" and so am sending what I have that
works.
