Isn't V2 the old format using "1 [16 byte session key] [cksum]" instead
of the PKCS-1 block type 02 for the ESK. PGP 2.3?
As I understand it, the only difference between V2 and V3 was version
number change; it was part of the shift to the RSAREF-based code, and the
version number shift was to force an upgrade to the RSAREF version.
