FWIW, I wasn't sure whether the plugin init was done before or after threads 
were created. One of Werner Koch's messages about it said initialization 
should be done before threads are created.  It's unclear why this is, it would 
seem that as long as it's done before libgcrypt is used it ought to be ok.... 
but the "callbacks" registered specifically for pthreads kind of make me wonder 
whether libgcrypt somehow hooks into the thread library and initializes each 
thread when it's created, therefore missing the chance if it's initialized 
after new threads are created, even if libgcrypt hasn't been used yet.
