Please fix one issue per patch, that makes it way easier to review and
partially apply.

That is a good idea indeed.

No.  Including data.h a hack, and the proper solution is to create a
proper API so that we don't need the layout of struct gpgme_data.  Also,
we don't relay the CFLAGS merely to locate data.h, we also like to
compile the glue code with the very same CFLAGS.

I guess we could do that, yes.


Thanks,
