I think you missed the point. He wants to make his code work *both* with pgp
and gnupg because the user may actually use pgp instead of gnupg. I'll be
concerned about that 3 issues if I were writting the kmail pgp/gpg code too

Compatibility is an issue. I'm a gnupg user. My friends are gnupg users. All
works ok for me. But I'm a little worried about compatibilities between
pgg-gnupg (or even gnupg-gnupg dif versions). I like the idea of not using
any pattented algoritms in gnupg, but lets face it. Sometimes, some of us
have to use them (one of my teachers uses pgp 2.x). and patching gnupg
sources doesn't seem clear to me. Does gnupg support any kind of plugin
mechanism?. If not, I think it would be a good idea (installing a plugin is
easier than patching the sources for the average joe user)

Cheers
