Hi Werner,
Thanks for the new release, It solves a lot of the OS X compile problems
we were seeing, which is great.
I'm still hitting a new one though. If you attempt to compile using an
external gpg-agent, rather than one with the package, you hit this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
clang -I/usr/local/Cellar/libgcrypt/1.6.2/include
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error/1.17/include
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error/1.17/include
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libassuan/2.1.3/include
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error/1.17/include -g -O2 -Wall
-Wno-pointer-sign -Wpointer-arith -lresolv -o gpgsplit gpgsplit.o
