Summary: call gpgme_check_version() before using gpgme_new()

Initial Comment:
According to the NEWS file, in GPGME 1.2.0 (2009-06-18)

 * gpgme_new will fail if gpgme_check_version was not called, or a selftest failed (for example, if -mms-bitfields was not used on MingW32 targets).

This problem affects several applications that use libgpgme, including ayttm, as reported by Jason E. Hale in the FreeBSD ports system:

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/135911

I'm including Jason's patch for ayttm (see attachment).
