Well, it is pretty pointless to build gpgme w/o an installed GnuPG.  You
would not be able to run even the most basic checks.

Hmm, ./configure --help shows:

  [...]
  --disable-gpgconf-test  disable GPGCONF regression test
  --disable-gpg-test      disable GPG regression test
  --disable-gpgsm-test    disable GPGSM regression test
  --disable-g13-test      disable G13 regression test
  [...]

I guess I remove this because ignoring this or other recipe is not a
good idea.  It may also be some leftover from former tests or so.


Salam-Shalom,
