Some of them were likely created with GnuPG 0.0001, in the year 1917
:)  Some of them are more recent.  They are unlikely to have been
created by PGP any version.  How do I check if they are PGP2 keys?

Will do.  gnupg.org/download is my friend.

They do.  But I don't want to keep two gnupg versions installed
indefinitely, and use different binaries for different keys.  That's
madness.

I'll restore from backup, and create that file.
