You can create a separate change, 20030 is focussed on making Libgcrypt
mandatory but will not rewrite other parts (in order to make review
easier).

Increasing the minimum to 1.6 will drop support for RHEL6 and RHEL7
(especially when Libgcrypt becomes mandatory), so it will be better to
make it conditional and return AIRPDCAP_RET_UNSUCCESS if not available.
