As gpg2 seems to generate a lot of confusion, I second the renaming to 
make the different purposes as clear as possible.

The main and most important difference is the addition of S/MIME, so it 
should be part of the new name and command.

How about:

gpg   ==  GnuPG      ==  GnuPG Classic
gpgs ==  GnuPG+S  ==  GnuPG+S/MIME
