Note that we include gpgme++ include files without the leading 
"gpgme++/" (e.g.

in comphelper/source/misc/storagehelper.cxx), presumably because 
external/gpgmepp/ExternalProject_gpgmepp.mk in its current form doesn't 
provide those gpgme++ include files in a gpgme++ directory.

So setting GPGMEPP_CFLAGS for the --with-system-gpgmepp /is/ necessary 
with the current setup, it just does not work to arbitrarily guess that 
the gpgme++ directory is in /usr/include merely because the compiler is 
able to include gpgme++/gpgmepp_version.h from one of its system locations.

Probably best to make external/gpgmepp/ExternalProject_gpgmepp.mk run 
`make install` to somewhere, and use proper includes with "gpgme++/" 
prefix across our code.
