There is a minor issue (which is not their fault) which is related to updating or overriding the local libiconv library. Using Homebrew, installing and linking a new libiconv library in order to satisfy a Nokogiri dependency breaks MacGPG2.
Beware if using Nokogiri.

We have pick up your suggestion and created an FAQ on our website. Please have a look at http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html it should answer your questions.
Most of your questions should be answered by simply having a look at our mainpage http://gpgtools.org
Besides we think your rating is rather inapproriate and does not reflect the work and quality of our tools, which the GPGTools Project offers.

Keep up the good work, but don't require users with the wherewithal to know what they're doing to have to suspend their disbelief in what they allow you to install in their systems.

I hope we always have an open-source public key encryption system. It exemplifies the best qualities of an open internet. And, that it works so well on a Mac is icing on the cake.

I was once quite a champion of GnuPG for Mac, put up with the massive geek factor and had it working perfectly. But these days GnuPG is broken on Mac OS X 10.6.x. Don't bother playing with it unless you're one of the developers, it's that nasty at the moment. I've attempted many times over the last full year to help the project, saw great hope last spring, only to have hope dashed this winter with a cacophony of developer infighting, endlessly frustrated would-be users, censored list posts, and chaos all round. I have never seen this before and hope I never do again. RUN AWAY from this software for now, until... (all join hands and pray) ...someone sane takes over the project and straightens out the bloody mess. Until then, I wish the project well.

comments like yours aren't that much of a help to anyone. Neither you, nor us.
Please give 2.0.17 a try. Should fix all your issues. Or even better: try our latest GPGTools release, so we can make sure all your components are up-to-date.
Cheers!

(1) Does this release incorporate the out-of-band X509 patch to gpg2 2.0.16?
(2) I've gone through the mostly painful process of obtaining, compiling and installing gpg2 and its associated support libraries from scratch. Will installing MacGPG2 2.0.16 overwrite my own libraries (rooted in /usr/local) or is it all self-contained?
(3) In other words, having gone to the trouble of obtaining, compiling and installing gpg2 on my own, why would I want or need this?

A: Does not include that out of band patch.

A: Just use 2.0.17: it won't overwrite your own libraries.
(3) In other words, having gone to the trouble of obtaining, compiling and installing gpg2 on my own, why would I want or need this?
A: You simply want MacGPG2 because then you don't have to do all the work yourself, are up-to-date and have a version that works ;)
Hope that helps.

"Change Log
MacGPG2 now uses Stéphane Corthésy's gpg-agent launchd patch. Consequently, MacGPG2 no longer needs login or logout scripts in order to function correctly and these will be disabled.
Under most circumstances, MacGPG2 no longer needs to interact with the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file and any unneeded entries will be automatically removed."
