Comment(by tagnaq):

 Replying to [comment:10 ioerror]:
 > Bad news - if the GPG client has no SOCKS5 support and you _try_ to use
 the SOCKS5 support it will fail badly.

 This means we can not statically configure gpg to use socks5 proxies (in
 torbirdy).

 Can we build an autodetection for socks support and change enigmail's
 config acordingly?
 - enable socks5 proxy in enigmail's gpg options iff we have socks support
 - do not set the socks proxy if we have no support for it (set a non-
 existing http proxy to fail secure)
