Looking into it more, it looks like you can use a key file. If you choose
some random location, that would be sufficient to prevent the
virus-getting-the-master-database attack. Of course, you'll need to have
good back-ups so you don't lose your key file.
Keepass seems like a good solution if you don't wanna do the PGP thing.
