It parses the configuration files and also consults gpg-agent to test
which are options are enabled for use by gpgconf and what are the
current values.  To do this gpgconf uses the special gpg-agent option
'--gpgconf-list'.  This usuallay returns the correct values, unless
gpg-agent has not ben restarted after a gpg-agent.cof chnage or command
line options are used.

If really required we could add an Assuan command to return certain
values similar to "gpg-connect-agent 'help getinfo' /bye".  But before
adding such an option I would like to learn why you need this.
