Hi Saul,
The libassuan and libksba patches are rejected by upstream (gnupg.org).
The reason is in the email below.
So the question is, if they don't want to support pkgconfig for their
libs, are we going to support it anyway?
Thanks,
Chen Qi

Among the 26 recipes / packages that deliver their own bin-config tools, only
four of them don't deliver pkgconfig (.pc) files.
This series of patches add pkgconfig support to them.

These two patches are rejected by gnupg project for the reason below:
"
pkg-config might be useful in the GNOME or KDE environment where you
have lots of not so well defined libraries. However, it adds nothing to
portability of code.
Using a shell script instead of pkg-config is more flexible and solves
the same purposes. Right, it is annoying to see several identical -I
and -L options on the cc line, but that is mostly an aesthetic issue.
Maintaining a shell script and a .pc file will lead to inconsistency and
weird bug reports. Thus it is a waste of time.
