I would think the ink is by now very, very dry on the decision 
to go with gpg and gpg2, as in pkgsrc. <g>

That's what I did. The gpg.rc file ships in the mutt package. 
I renamed mine gpg2.rc, changed all the references to gpg2, and 
changed the .muttrc include statement. Seems to work okey dokey.

I found a neat discussion of an exotic gpg problem here:
