The struct returned by GPGME need to be considered read-only for a user
of GPGME:

   Those structures shall be considered read-only and an application
   must not allocate such a structure on its own.

(in the section Result Management).  Thus a different way to specify
this is required.

Given that this is will be a rarely used feature, what about a
gpgme_key_set_flag function which could works similar to the
gpgme_data_set_flag function.  That would be more flexible than to add
dedicated functions for marking a subkey or to provide extra versions of
the encrypt and sign functions to take a selection criteria for the
subkey.


Salam-Shalom,
