Is that a problem of getting at the changes in CVS or something different? 
If it is the former, I could email you the patches.

Ok.

Well, yeah, it could do that.  But it can only be a warning because the
machine you compile GPGME on doesn't even need to have gpg or gpgsm
installed (unless you want to run the test suite).  But as I have to check
for running the test suite anyway, I can add a check.  The check would
disable the test suite if no suitable gpg is found.

I didn't mean to fix it instead having the extra note.  I was using your
header, and it was wrong because it was excluding you in the reply.  Now
it's better (although I prefer to CC every recipient at all times).

Thanks,
