Replying to myself because I forgot to mention a few things:

- Before you start the script you have to get all the keys from a 
keyserver.
- The script uses mimencode to encode the random bytes it gets from 
/dev/urandom. So you need to have mimencode installed.

To extract the keyids from kastle-keyring.txt you can do the following:
1. Comment all "pub ..." lines of those people who were not present at 
the key signing party by prepending those lines with an arbitrary 
character.
2. Run
  grep ^pub kastle-keyring.txt | sed 's_^pub......./\([0-9A-F]*\) .*$_
\1_' >keyids.txt
to extract the key ids.
3. Run
  gpg --recv-keys `cat keyids.txt`
to download all keys.
4. Finally run the script
  ./send-challenge `cat keyids.txt` >challenges.txt

Before you send any challenges please check for one key id that it 
actually works for you.

Regards,
Ingo
