Hello Richard,

  that -h issue is actually understandable. If run-tests-pgp was exectuable
you would more likely be tempted to try -h. Maybe that means we should make
it so by adding a hash bang line or by adding a short shell script that will
do so call run-tests.pgp with the correct php version.
