That's right.  I fixed a couple of them in the last weeks but there are
other things with higher priority.  I don't think that you shuld do
invest to much time into looking into these bugs.  I have a lot of
fixmes and #warning in the code which I just need to fix.

Last week we officially finished the Kontact (KDE) for mobile phones
(Kontact Touch) project and thus I should have more time to work on
GnuPG proper.

The plan is to finish the ECC integration within the next week and merge
it into master.  The we should do the smartcard stuff and release a
beta2.

Given that you are very interested in this stuff, I'll post more
progress info about my work.
