Yes, but since it's not built by default, I'd bet it's not included in the
binary distributions, and even people who compile their own gnupg are
unlikely to have it enabled. So you can't assume it exists.

So, I'll try to make the default keyserver and ldap one.

Great. I was using the gpg version so far, but this seems to be better. Is
protocol version 1 stable right now? I'll take a look at supporting it as
soon as I can.
