so I was wrong. At startup, libdar initializes all libraries as
required. For gpgme library, initialization consists of checking that
the version matches libdar requirement, and second that the gpgme
engine is available for use calling gpgme_engine_check_version()
routine which fails if gpg binary is not found.

removing this test leads to the behavior I expected: that
dar/dar_static can run normally even when gpg is not available. Though
the dar/dar_static behavior is weird when it comes to rely on gpgme
(asymmetrical ciphering): gpgme behaves as if the keyring was empty...
and you could spend a lot of time trying to figure out the cause of
this empty keyring if you were not aware it was due to a missing or
inaccessible gpg binary while running dar_static.

I've modified dar: upon gpgme initialization failure (if gpgme has
been activated at compilation time) dar asks the user whether to retry
libdar initialization without gpgme support.

I have also built dar_static without gpgme support to avoid this
warning when one does not need gpgpme.

you can find it as version 2.6.6.RC2 (release Candidate 2 for version
2.6.6) in the Interim_releases directory at
 ftp://ftp.dm3c.org/dar.linux.free.fr/Interim_releases/

this should match your need, tell me if not.
