[gpg] migrate to new gpgme lib?

[Albrecht Dreß <albrecht dress arcor de>]

In the past there were some questions about moving to a newer version of 
the gpgme lib which serves as a "glue" between gpg and balsa. As there 
were many changes in the API, even between versions 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 (balsa 
uses 0.3.14 or .15), I preferred to stick with the old one (read: avoid 
more work... ;-)).

Now the gpgme team released 0.4.2, and as Marcus Brinkmann (the main 
developer) told me they are quite confident that the api has now 
stabilised (apart from e.eg. bugfixes etc.).

As gpgme 0.4.2 seems to fix some ugly things, I would like to migrate 
balsa to the new version. Although it will probalely only change 3 files 
(the configure script and libbalsa/rfc3156.[hc]), this will require to 
either install the new gpgme lib or forget signing/encrypting mails.

I am therefore interested in the opinion of the gurus whether I should 
start now with that job or better wait for some more time.

Cheers, Albrecht.
