* ABI's to break:
** The resulting error of an operation can not be retrieved
seperately; the op_foobar operations can't be implemented
by the user, they are not merely convenience, but necessity, while
the op_foobar_start functions for these are unusable (or render the
context unusable, your choice).
** string representation of non-secret keys and ATTR_IS_SECRET is NULL,
which can not be differentiated from the case that it is not
representable.
** keylisting mode can go
** api to specify where to search, lokal and/or remote.
* Implement posix-sema.c
* Allow to use GTK's main loop instead of the select stuff in
wait.c
* add locking to the key cache?
* GpgmeKey misses GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE attribute
* Add ATTR to return the number of subkeys or uids.
* Return GPGME_Canceled when appropriate
* Factor out common code in _op_*_start functions.
* Documentation
** Add note about GPGME clearing out pointer return values.
** validity/trust
* Engines
** Move code common to all engines up from gpg to engine.
** engine operations can return General Error on unknown protocol
(it's an internal error, as select_protocol checks already).
* Operations
** Import, export status handler.
* Error Values
** Map ASSUAN error values.
** Map GpgSM ERR messages.
** Verify (and document) if Read_Error, Write_Error, Pipe_Error set errno.
* Tests
** t-data
*** Test gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem.
*** Test gpgme_data_rewind for invalid types.
*** Test gpgme_data_read's readable feature.
* Build suite
** Make sure everything is cleaned correctly (esp. test area).
Bugs reported by Stephane Corthesy:
> - When returning a GpgmeKey GPGME_ATTR_COMMENT attribute, characters
> like ":" are not un-escaped, they are returned as \x3a
> BTW, here's another bug: it it not possible to retrieve fingerprints
> for subkeys
> In GpgmeRecipients, would it be possible to provide a function which
> would return the validity assigned to a name contained in the
> GpgmeRecipients instance?
> - There is an inconsistent behaviour: if we pass three times an
> invalid (but non empty) passphrase, return code is GPGME_No_Data, but
> if we pass three times an empty (and invalid) passphrase, we get
> GPGME_No_Passphrase.
> passphrase callback. If I use the same GpgmeContext as the one which

> Talking about gpgme performances: did anyone make some profiling on
