FWIW, while preparing 2.1.12 I had to remove your migrations test cases
because there were problems with missing files after "make distcheck"
and at least two portability problems:

  - mktemp is not portable; it is even not Posix.

  - basename(1) is not availabale on older Unices while gcc can be used
    there to have limited to support for C-99.  BTW, instead of using
    "basename $x .asc" it is easier to use "${x%.asc}".

Thus gpgscm will actually make it easier to write portable code.

Release done; now is the time to let McCarthy test our code.
