There is a bug in pEpAdapter.jsm that it does not support GnuPG installed in 
non-standard locations, like /opt/local/bin for MacPorts.  In fact, enigmail 
encrypts, signs, and decrypts with gpg fine itself, while pEp fails to do so.

This results is repeated attempts to install gpg with the error message "In 
order to use Enigmail/p≡p, GnuPG is required. As we could not find it, we 
suggest to download and install it for you.”  If the user clicks install to 
shut it up, then they will likely cause gpg version compatibility warnings 
elsewhere, and possibly break other gpg configuration.

Also, the GnuPG package pEp attempts to install wants to place gpg in /usr/bin, 
which could theoretically collide with software installed by Apple.  It should 
be replaced by the MacGPG package probably.
