Re: Can the legacy HAVE_LIBGCRYPT_AEAD check be removed?

If some changes were done to fix the compilation, it means that some people still use a libgcrypt version older than 
1.6.0.
And as seen in our CMakeLists.txt file, the minimum version required for now is 1.5.0.

I understand your reluctancy to upgrade the requirements, but don’t you think that ten years is a *very long* time to 
support
an old cryptographic library (libgcrypt 1.5.0 was released in 2011-06-29), just because somebody out there might still 
be using it?
