If the user already has MacGPG installed a warning is displayed but there is no option to stop the installation and MacGPG appears to be uninstalled even if the you click 'ignore'. And there's no uninstaller... :(

Yes, the instaler did not correctly interpret the answer by the user. That's fixed now. However, the expectation that you can abort the installation at this point is wrong because at this point the installation as such is already done at this point.

I'm planning to create an uninstaller at some point. To uninstall GnuPG manually, simply delete /usr/local/gnupg-2.1 and its subfolders.
