Make ssh and gpg directories and this sounds like a usefully secure
way to allow us to add extra keys (currently, there's a security hole
in the fact that requests to change our registered ssh key for access
are not themselves authenticated electronically)

Also, nice work on getting to this point, even though it turned out to
be a lot more work than you originally anticipated!

Cheers,
Nick.
