It would be a piece of cake to check to see if the signature already has
the dashes, and if it's enabled. Like:

if( sig_dashes_enabled ) {
	if( strncmp( "-- \n", sig_string, 4 ) == 0 ||
	    strncmp( "--n\", sig_string, 3 ) == 0 ) {
		prepend_dashes();
	}
}

Come to think of it, strncmp might be one of those inconsistently-portable
functions that there's a glib wrapper for. Anyway, you get the idea.
