Thanks. However, I took a different approach which should yield the same
result.  Now GnuPg builds binaries gpg and gpgv and onlys installs them
as gpg2/gpgv2.  This has the advantage that eventually we can make
--enable-gpg2-is-gpg the default without chnaging anything else in the
source (e.g. the tests).  Thus in the gnupg build tree gpg is now always
called gpg.

Will come soon.

Yep.  In this case I would suggest to rename gpg.c to gpg1.c and use
your install-hook to rename gpg1 to gpg in the target directory.  We
also need to rename the man page.

Yes.
