It is a whole lot of work to write and test(!) such GUI stuff.  Thus
experts should use the command line.

You can still add this manually to gpg.conf.  Not whole options are
available via the gpgconf interface because otherwise it would get too
cluttered with exotic options.

This is not very useful because the default value for the iteration
count is taken from gpg-agent which calibrates it so that an S2K
operation takes about 100ms.  Using a slower algorithm does not really
help.
