does gpgv.exe need to depend on gpgconf?

No.  We can relax this requirement for gpgv.  It is only for Windows
because we use gpgconf to test for a portable application.  gpgconf is
used because it guarantees that a full gpg installation is there.

The easiest fix would be to remove

  fname = xstrconcat (dir, DIRSEP_S "gpgconf.exe", NULL);
  if (access (fname, F_OK))
    log_error ("required binary '%s' is not installed\n", fname);
  else
    {
      strcpy (fname + strlen (fname) - 3, "ctl");
      if (!access (fname, F_OK))
        {
          /* gpgconf.ctl file found.  Record this fact.  */
          w32_portable_app = 1;

the error message.  It was useful during development but I think we can
do just fine without it.


Salam-Shalom,
