This won't work with PGP 5.X.  It uses the algorithm identifier in the key
packet to determine what kind of key it is.  It also uses a combination
of the key id and the alg id internally to index keys, so changing the

gnupg does the same.

alg id in the ESK packet will prevent it from finding your keys.

Sorry, I noticed myself that it will not work (I should enable my
brain before posting).  Okay, okay, I'll make 17,16 the default
algorithms.
