Sounds complicated. Did you think about a new function like 
"gpgme_init_threads({"pthread"|"pth"|...})" to trigger the thread 
initialisation? Maybe that's easier to maintain...

I hope the patch for balsa (which uses threads) will be ready about two 
weeks later (as I'm on holidays in between ;-)).

Cheers, Albrecht.
