At present I also use this semi version.

I had to patch wanderlust:

Any other modifications required?

With gpg1 signing and encrypting is working, but I have to enter the
passphrase twice.

With gpg2 (setq epg-gpg-program "/usr/bin/gpg2") signing and
encrypting doesn't work. The passphrase is also requested twice but
then I get an error.

PBKAC?

In Emacs 24 pgg has become obsolete. Should we switch to semi-epg
sooner or later?

Thanks.
