Don't change or patch the code in that way!
You'd better not use any encryption that isn't OpenPGP compliant and
further not compatible with GnuPG. If you do, you cannot expect anyone to
be able to decrypt your files/messsages.
Besides, there isn't much need for a weaker key anyway.
So, stick to the default settings in GnuPG!
