I'll fix this.

To ease on the requirement for g++, we could drop gpg2john from the general targets so you'd have to "make gpg2john" to build it separately. That is how we treat things that require pcap, I think (if not, I guess we should).
Or perhaps even try to build all of those automatically, but only after finishing John. That way if you lack g++, gpg2john would fail but you'd end up having John.
