Can anyone recommend which ./configure options to enable/disable for
general users on macOS? I'm creating a new v2.5.x macOS Homebrew
formula (pre-built package) macOS users, because Homebrew currently
only provides 1.8/2.2:
$ brew search gnupg
gnupg at 1.4 gnupg at 2.2
Proposed config:
GnuPG v2.5.13 has been configured as follows:
