Re: gpgmepy: Broken sdist build => "make install fails"

With the latest commit, it's now possible to build a wheel package using 
|make && python -m build|, and install it with |pip install dist/*.whl|.
Note that the Makefile still invokes |setup.py| in several places, which 
is deprecated and already causes failures for |make install| and |make 
sdist|.
I now have write access to the repository and have fixed some of the 
build issues, but contributions are very welcome; especially since I'm 
not deeply familiar with the Python ecosystem.
