Encrypt a (short) file using someone's public key from github

# HubCrypt
# ========
#
# Decrypt a file encrypted using hubencrypt (ok, it's just openssl + rsautl +
# your SSH keys). It needs the private key that matches your last public key
# listed at github.com/<user>.keys

# HubCrypt
# ========
#
# Encrypts a small message using a github user's public key as pulled from
# github.com/<user>.key (ok, the last public key listed).
#
# The message size you can encrypt depends on the size of the RSA key used.
#
# Key size (bits) Maximum Message Size (bytes)
# 768 85
# 1024 117
# 2048 246
# 4096 502
# 8192 1018
#
# The key size (as specified by `-b` when using ssh-keygen) doesn't actually
# have to be a power of 2, and will give you maximum message sizes in between
# these ranges. I leave that as an exercise to the reader. If you want the
# "solution" email me. Or leave a message on the gist this originally came from.
# Whatever.
#
# Note: This assumes that the key is an RSA public key, and that the public
# key you want to use is the last one listed at github.com/<user>.keys
