Following patch should give us a bit better error handling, but still
far from perfect, some examples below:

ukasz@...th ~/JohnTheRipper/run $ ./gpg2john pub.asc
File: pub.asc does not contain a secret key

ukasz@...th ~/JohnTheRipper/run $ ./gpg2john bad_file.asc
Exception while parsing key: Unsupported key version 101

When you give private key file that is not complete it will not show
any error, but I think we can live with that.

This patch also strips basename, adds copyrights and contains some
code cleanups.
