That was really a lot work.  I had to rewrite the entire passing of
environment variables code in GnuPG.  It is in SVN r 5064.  I did some
quick tests using a pinentry-wrapper and could verify that GTK+ shows
that Scim is active.  

I hope that there are no regressions regarding the passing of locale
information and other environment variables.  Running a complete test on
all combinations of command line args, environment variables and Assuan
options is way too time consuming, thus I hope for the best.

If you want to add more environment variables; this is now pretty easy:
Add them to the list in common/session-env.c.


Salam-Shalom,
