As Larry says, the gnupg dependency is coming from gcr, and, at first glance, 
that doesn't seem correct to
me.  gcr provides ui widgets to display/handle gnupg generated records as well 
as opengpg, etc, but libgcrypt and
p11-kit should be sufficient to do this and I don't see any dependency on gnupg 
in configure.ac.   This just
may be a hold over from old times.  Will investigate further and see if the 
gnupg dependency can just go away.
