Whatever software, its always first worth knowing how to search
sources for clues. Non programmers too can find clues in sources
which include docs, even if they dont want to to write code.

For Unix:
	cd /path/for/your/sources 
		( For FreeBSD 
		http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/gnupg/
		cd /usr/ports/security/gnupg ; make patch ; cd work/gnupg-2.0.9
		)
	find . -type f | xargs grep -l "integrity protected"
		... lots of po/*.po & po/*.gmo files etc .. 
		doc/gnupg.info-1
		doc/gpg.texi
		g10/mainproc.c
		g10/packet.h
		kbx/keybox-openpgp.c

For MickeySoft: WinDoze has a DOS box, DOS has Find, callable by batch.

Web search engines eg 
	http://www.google.de/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=integrity+protected&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=gnupg%2Corg&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

doc/gnupg.info-1
	`--no-mdc-warning'
     Suppress the warning about missing MDC integrity protection.
