I'm pleased to see these patches haven't moved to binary oblivion yet!

Indeed preferrable to using `test_expect_success' due to no longer
overzealously reporting missing prereqs as failures, as well as getting
rid of some duplication;  This should also be used in the atomicity tests.

Correct. I only added prereqs to actual tests (i.e. calls to
`test_expect_success', `test_expect_equal', and
`test_expect_equal_file'), while they should also have been added to
both the `add_gnupg_home' function and the initialization of
${FINGERPRINT}.

Thanks to you as well!  All this duplication of effort is a real shame
though.  I'd also have preferred your fixes being in separate commits.

I'll be commenting on these modified commits where needed, and have
re-submitted my original series (rebased to current master) in a new
thread [1].
