Well, I did say I was confused, didn't I?  :-)  It's not about the c++ 
binding, it's about threading.  gpgme 1.8 is thread safe, but prior 
versions (unless I'm off by one) were not, so there was a necessary call 
to a thread related function in a different library, and the build 
system calls to assure that was present should no longer be present if 
gpgme is 1.8.  (If that doesn't explain it, I'll have to go back and 
find the messages which described my build/run failure, and the patch 
Peter provided to fix it.)

I may well be wrong about it being gpgmepp specifically, but it was some 
library which supported use of threads with gpgme.  Sorry for not having 
the correct terminology.
