Thanks, I didn't know about gpgconf. Indeed we can do:

  echo 'use-tor:0:1' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr

However, it seems that --runtime won't work here: even if I pass that
option to "gpgconf --change-options", dirmngr won't start using Tor
immediately. dirmngr will start using Tor if I kill it (and then I get
a fresh new dirmngr on next request), or if I run "gpgconf --reload
dirmngr".

So we need to do something like:

  echo 'use-tor:0:1' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr && \
  gpgconf --reload dirmngr

... on parcimonie startup, if we detect that we're using gpg2, and
dirmngr has not been configured correctly yet.

Cheers,
