Either that, or rather I'd keep compiling it against 1.2.0 if at all possible 
(since we don't need 1.3.x, especially not before it's released!). That 
should make the binary compatible with any version above 1.2.0 (at least I 
hope so; the specific version check code is part of libgcrypt).  It does not 
work the other way round (compile against 1.3, link against 1.2 does not 
work). Note that the 'expected version' statement is printed as 1.3.0-cvs 
because that was the libgcrypt version that the Debian maintainer compiled 
the binary against.  It does not mean that this is what the GNUnet sources 
require.
