+Actually now that I sent this mail it kept rolling on my mind... If anyone
+else than me (and libgpgme?) thinks that '.' should not be in search path
+we could do
+
+if (getenv("PATH") == NULL) {
+   path_set = true;
+   setenv("PATH", "/bin:/usr/bin", 1); // XXX *BSD configurability //
+}
+else path_set = false;
+
+... g_find_program_in_path("gpg2")
+... g_find_program_in_path("gpg")
+
+if (path_set) {
+  unsetenv("PATH");
+
+---
+
+I also thought of examining the return value starting with ./ but
+(current or) future version of g_find_program_in_path() might
+canonicalize the returned path...
