You are welcome. I very much appreciate that you work on adding WKD to other 
software. ;-)

I think it makes sense. Such things were ommited because GPGME tries to 
abstract such things away. e.g. you can also use that with gpgsm and there 
EXTERN does not mean --search and in theory.

I've added it now as I agree that making it more explicit makes it easier for 
new users to understand it.

Best Regards,
Andre
