I'm getting this error on gpg2 master whenever I try to import a secret
key exported from 1.4.13

$ gpg-agent  -v --daemon
gpg-agent[12554]: listening on socket '/home/user/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent'
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/user/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:12555:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;

$ gpg2 --import secret-keys.gpg
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!

I've tried going back to 36ba7845995dd3caf8faeec3e09b3ffb879fc29b but
I'm getting the same results. I figure if I go back any farther I'll
start running into compatibility issues with the other gnupg repos
(e.g., libgpg-error)

I encountered this while playing with the new pinentry modes for the
Android port.
