Is this new version of GPGME library correct problem with compilation and order
of linking : problems with libpthread and libgpgme that we have in the past with
GPGME 0.3.15 ?

If this problem is corrected with GPGME 0.4.x, I think that will a good idea to
switch on a newer version of this library.

If you want, I can help you to adapt your Balsa's code for GPGME 0.4.
I definitely stop my work on GPG support for Balsa 1.4.x with the end of devel
for this branch.

Thx, Foxy.
