I don't want a big warning either. I don't use encryption/signing, and I
don't want tla to remind me of this fact _ever_. 

Let there be a way to query if the archive is signed or not, and shut up
about unsigned archives. Alternatively, can we have the option of
putting a =no-steenkin-sig-here flag one can set in =meta-info to make
tla inhibit the warnings. (Though I guess this is not a good solution
either.) Basically, I don't want to be forced to use a signed archive to
avoid these messages, and I don't want to downgrade tla either.
