I am now curious. Why was Classic McEliece added to Libgcrypt in that case?
Why does it support Whirlpool? Or SHA-3? Or Serpent? Or… The answer can be found in the first sentence of libgcrypt's home page: "Libgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic library…"Libgcrypt supports an awful lot more than just what's needed to implement LibrePGP. It is, as it says, a general-purpose cryptographic library.
