LVM+LUKS+GPG-encrypted keyfile?

Hello everyone!

I'm coming from Gentoo (just can't handle the compiling-without-distcc anymore!), where I had an LVM+LUKS+GPG-encrypted keyfile setup for my root partition, and would like to continue that with Arch here.

I know with LUKS you can append keys/passwords, so I just went ahead with the "password" install method that was well documented. 

Is there any current easy-method for going about the route I'm looking for?  I've been searching around and mostly finding "it can be done" but not necessarily how to do it.   Would anyone have any information for me on this? 

Thanks in advance!
