Please have a look at the GNUPG_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE macro in
acinclude.me and try to fix it.  GNOME should have a working one
(AM_..).  The one which comes with libtools seemed to be broken, so I 
use of copy of it and did one "fix".

Keep hitting on your keyboard.

It won't work if you have a signed and encryoted message.  This is due
to the ugly message format of pgp which puts the signature in front of
the signed material.  It not easy to work arounf this and I don't like
to use temporary files or other complicated schemes to solve this just
for PGP 2 (Remi once did a pacth but I decided that it is far too
complicated).
