Hello,

Please switch from using libgcrypt-config to pkg-config to locate
libgcrypt. libgcrypt-config will be dropped in the next libgcrypt major
release.

Upstream's AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT() nowadays uses gpgrt-config iff
AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR() is also used. However a) abiword ships an old copy of
libgcrypt.m4 so the newer code is not used by autoreconf and b) abiword
does not use AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR(). Find attached a trivial patch to
simply switch to pkg-config (which is a lot faster than gpgrt-config.)
