New submission from Marc Mutz <marc@klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se>:

This is to make it easier for the user of gpgme to determine whether a given
key is a root certificate. An alternative would be to add an is_root flag in
gpgme_key_t, but you are right in that this would duplicate information already
available through the chain_id (albeit needing a string comparison). I've
implemented this in gpgme++ like this:

bool Key::isRoot() const {
return d->key && d->key->subkeys && d->key->subkeys->fpr && d->key->chain
_id &&
strcasecmp( d->key->subkeys->fpr, d->key->chain_id ) == 0;
}
