Description

I'm not sure this is still happening, but looking at the code it doesn't look
like gcry_check_version is being called in gpgv2.

Running gpgv2 to verify signatures generates a warning in syslog,

gpgv2: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the
application

Verification still works correctly, but the warning is generated every time
gpgv2 tries to carry out an operation.

eric_kuroneko.ca set Version to 2.0.18.

This bug is still there in 2.0.20.
It would be better to add following line in main of gpgv.c.

gcry_control (GCRYCTL_INITIALIZATION_FINISHED, NULL);

Well, gcry_check_version is not called at all. The fix will go into 2.0.21 to
be released today.
