Hi,

I permit myself to sum up the open questions:

That option doesn't seem to be present in gnupg configure.ac...?

With the above build-time setting applied, do all previously
generated (slow) keys have to be recreated or is this delay gone
with a newly compiled agent/gnupg library?

Thanks
Felix
