You can try using http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=statsprocessor to
generate a custom dictionary.

JtR supports cracking DSA keys. I just confirmed it.

This warning is a bit strange. I don't know what it means and how does
it impact cracking.

You can enable OpenMP by un-commenting "#OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp" in
Makefile and then re-compiling JtR. John will then use all the cores.
JtR achieves a speedup of 97X when running on ATI 7970 as compared to a
single core 2.8GHz CPU for gpg format.
