OK, I'll make GPA check the version.

If you are going to change the protocol, I would like a small improvement in
the error codes. The way they are reported right now is fine for most cases.
But when there is a network error, such as host not found, or connection
refused, the plugin just dies silently. The only way to know an error
happened is checking it's exit code. Maybe you could report those errors
too?

Well, we can find out the GnuPG version we are using with Gpgme. As you
said, the plugins ship with GnuPG, so knowing that should be enough. There
is no change needed on your side.
