I don't know.  Brendan actually mentioned he was getting hit with the
prompt for the CMS engine.  So, he, at least, is using a recent mutt
with an older GPGME version.

I added the checks in df55f14f4585 in place of the GPG_AGENT_INFO env
var check.  I'm actually pretty ambivalent about them, and am just as
happy to drop the checks completely.

I think it will be pretty obvious if the GPGME backend isn't working,
and this will at least leave a message on stderr indicating something
isn't quite right.
