[MlMt] Use GPG from Homebrew?

I don't think you need to have two separate installations. You can just 
symlink /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 to /usr/local/bin/gpg (or wherever 
you have GPG installed).

The only further thing you need to do, I think, is to ensure you have a 
GUI pinentry program. You can install such a program with:

brew install pinentry-mac

And then just set the "pinentry-program" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf to 
/usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac.

As far as I can tell, that all works fine for me.

Of course, be careful using GPG with email, given the recent EFAIL 
vulnerability.
