I've seen it in UNIX code, too, so we can't dismiss it out of hand as
being Windowsish. I agree it's not ideal, though.

I'm already doing this in my C++ bindings. For a 50-key ring, creating
the keydb representation takes under a second. Haven't tried it on
anything larger.

Yes, but if you don't release KS, all you have is a memory leak. If you
don't release a GpgmeKey, you're leaking a resource which shouldn't and
mustn't be leaked. But I'm an admitted paranoid about these things. :)
