I knew this was coming, but gnupg2 appears to move at glacial speeds, so
I had almost forgotten about it already.

It appears to me that the dirmngr binary package ought to be built from
the gnupg2 source package going forward, seeing that the top-level
configure has various dirmngr related options.  So feel free to take
whatever you need out of the existing dirmngr source package and drop it
into gnupg2.

I'm quite glad to get rid of this package and put it into more dedicated
hands.
