If you want to have gpg support (and IMHO you should have it on a handheld  
device), you *must* stick to the 2.0 series, as gmime (which 2.1.depends  
on) still has this nasty bug sometimes breaking signature checking for  
multiparts. I told Jeff this several times, but no progress yet (but  
that's a different story :-/ ). In short, 2.1 gpg support is not reliable,  
so it's unusable. Full stop.

I'm not sure how much space you could save by omitting the crypto stuff.  
Most is put into gpgme and gpg-error, and of course in gpg itself. So, if  
you have gpg (to support crypto filesystems, or whatever), I guess gpgme  
support will not be *too* expensive.

Just my € 0.01...

Cheers, Albrecht.
