[issue213] gpgme: add int gpgme_key_is_root(cert)( gpgme_key_t * )

[Marc Mutz]

New submission from Marc Mutz <marc at klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se>:

This is to make it easier for the user of gpgme to determine whether a given 
key is a root certificate. An alternative would be to add an is_root flag in 
gpgme_key_t, but you are right in that this would duplicate information already 
available through the chain_id (albeit needing a string comparison). I've 
implemented this in gpgme++ like this: 
 
  bool Key::isRoot() const { 
    return d->key && d->key->subkeys && d->key->subkeys->fpr && d->key->chain 
_id && 
      strcasecmp( d->key->subkeys->fpr, d->key->chain_id ) == 0; 
  }
