I'd love to see that supported, but i don't think that anyone has done
the work to handle passphrase-locked secret keys, or even mapped out
what the work would be.  I think we would all welcome patches, if you're
interested in working on it, as this would be a good feature to support.

If you do, you'll probably want to read up on the S2K (string-to-key)
section [0] and secret key packet formats [1] in the OpenPGP RFC.
