Oops, right, added.

Ouch.  Werner, any further ideas?

Thanks for the info.  Given that the libgcrypt problems is solvable
using the third-party DLL's, and the errno problem seem to be close to
solved, I think we are in good shape for 1.6.0.  Due to travels, I'll
probably not release anything until next week, so you have some time
to come up with more problems. :)

Thanks,
