I try to keep ABI changes to a minimum. I don't think its necessary here to 
break ABI. ABI breaks always mean work for packagers and if we can avoid that 
easily we should ;-)

exportPublicKeys is already overloaded so adding another overload is not an 
ABI Break. Just add another overload with a generic flags parameter and define 
ExportFlags as an enum with the values of gpgme's export flags.


The other patches look ok to me.


Thanks!
