I don't know. I think it's very surprising that
`gpg --armor --export | gpg --import`
doesn't work in PowerShell.

On the other hand, seeing something like https://superuser.com/q/961697 
PowerShell users should be used to pain when redirecting output.

And looking at RFC4880 I think one can safely argue that ASCII armor must be 
UTF-8 encoded.
