Description
gnupg2 requires gpg-agent to work, gnupg2 Portfile has --disable-agent (so no gpg-agent is built) and has no dependency on port:gpg-agent. Is there a reason the gnupg2 port does not build gpg-agent itself? I'm not sure which fix is better - have gnupg2 build gpg-agent, or add a dependency on port:gpg-agent (so no patchfile built).

gpg2 --help will work, gpg2 -c FILE will not:

Hi Eric. The gpg2 binary seems to run okay as is, so could you provide a use case for this bug? (Someone else mentioned it on one of the mailing lists, but forgot how it occurred.) gpg-agent has been separated so that users of of the gnupg port can use it, so if we do need to fix this, we'll make gnupg2 depend on gpg-agent.
