Nice to hear that.

Yes!

Patches are always welcome ;) In this context Benjamin (he's on this
list) might be the best contact person and the issue tracker the best
way to enhance the code (see
http://gpgtools.lighthouseapp.com/projects/66001-macgpg2/tickets/62).

To build a GPGTools installer is very easy:
https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGTools_Installer/wiki/How-to-build
But I guess you want to build MacGPG2 instead. This might be a bit
more difficult:

The -devel list is a bit more appropriate for this discussion. Don't
whether we should have a public archive...

Best regards and hope to see a tighter smart card integration soon,
Alex
