Hi guys,

gpgme-0.3.16 lists app-crypt/cryptplug as USE flag based dependency (on the "crypt" flag for some reason, which honestly defies logic to me)

now, app-crypt/cryptplug lists, as its *only* DEPENDency app-crypt/gpgme-0.3.14

So, this results in not only a circular dependency situation if one is unfortunate enough to have "crypt" in USE (which one would when installing sylpheed to pull in gpgme in the first place), but now one's gpgme emerges are constantly yo-yo'ing between 0.3.14 and 0.3.16

So, two requests -- can we have the "crypt" USE flag in gpgme replaced with something that's more intuitive?  And the obvious, can we get rid of the yo-yo'ing circular dependency kerfuffle?

Thanks :)
