I don't know.  However they use a set of patches (e.g. allowing 8k keys)
and thus the Mac version diverts from the gnupg.org version.  Actually
Gpg4win does the same but I take care that those patches get back to
upstream.  In fact all but one patch are regular commits done after a
release to fix Windows problems.  The remaining patch extends the GnuPG
version with the Gpg4win version.

I would appreciate if the Mac folks would decide to use gnupg-devel for
development.  It would also be desirable if the new speedo build system
from 2.1 could also be used for Mac OS.


Shalom-Salam,
