Rémy,

Thanks, I did not notice those two symbols; I will fix the patch
sometime tomorrow, hopefully.
There were several symbols (e.g. alpm_pkg_check_pgp_signature) in
which "pgp" was unnecessary, so I removed "pgp" from those symbols,
and I changed 'pgp_verify' to 'verifysig' because 'verify' alone
doesn't give enough context. The particular protocol that is used for
implementing signing doesn't need to be mentioned, except when making
specific accommodations for a particular library (in the case of
GnuPG's home directory).
