Well, so be it then. I can't say I understand the decision (have you considered those
who don't need that unnecessary flexibility?), but I guess I'll just have to continue
shipping gpgme.m4 within the geany-plugins autofoo buildsys. The waf buildsys will just
have to reimplement the check. I don't look forward to the day that you guys decide to
change gpgme.m4 though, assuming that ever happens.

That's the current approach I'm using, but like I said in the first message, it
feels ugly and hackish.
