I'd like to announce a new version of V with Cucumber Tests: version 99998 K

!!! Please read the v_testing_guide.txt before proceeding any further with
!!! running the Cucumber automated tests.

Change Log for V version 99998 K:

0x01: Changed V's default usage of ~/.gnupg to a temporary directory:
      `~/.gnupgtmp'.  This directory is created upon execution and will remove
      it upon exiting.  If ~/.gnupgtmp exists when `v.pl' is executed, V will
      die and stating the directory exists.  Also added supporting subroutines:
      `make_tmpdir' and `remove_tmpdir'.

0x02: Removed the usage of the 'each' keyword in three different subroutines:
      `traverse_desc', `traverse_ante' and `get_signatories'.  Usage of 'each'
      is to be avoided and was the cause behind some versions of perl giving
      errors at execution time.

0x03: In accordance with refactorizations in 0x02, the 'no warnings
      "experimental"' line and subsequent comment were removed.

0x04: Changed the requirement for Graph::Easy to be installed before execution.
      Now, Graph::Easy is only required when the user passes the `g' or `graph'
      commands to `v.pl'.

0x05: Added a helper subroutine to return the executing user's home directory.

0x06: Removed some extraneous GPG import statement crud to the terminal.

0x07: Corrected a spelling error to the word `initial'.

0x08: Removed an overlooked debug statement denoted with an `XXX' comment in the
      `press_vpatches' subroutine.

0x09: Replaced `exit -1' statements in `main' subroutine with `return'.  This
      will allow for main to return and still call `remove_tmpdir' afterwards.

0x0A: Added a number of calls to `remove_tmpdir' preceding previous places
      where `die' is called.

0x0B: Changed calls to `open' in the `print_graph' subroutine for backwards
      compatibility to perl v5.005.

0x0C: Updated `v.pl' version and corresponding documentation to `99998 K'.

Cucumber Changes:

0x01: Updated Scenario titles to reflect the proper annotation tags.

0x02: Updated the cleanup scenario @cleanup to remove ~/.gnupgtmp directory
      instead of ~/.gnupg after test execution.

0x03: Updated step definition to ensure initial spelling is correct.

0x04: Updated step definition to look for version 99998 K.

Testing:

  The changes denoted above were tested with the Cucumber automation tests:
  all passed.  The ability to expediently test the changes to the core
  functionality such as in section 0x02 above was paramount.

  Manual tests were conducted on the following versions of perl:
    v5.005
    v5.10
    v5.12
    v5.18
    v5.20

If you run into any issues or defects with this version please let me know
in #bitcoin-assets or via email.
