gpgconf is from GnuPG-2 and thus knows about GnuPG-2.x options.  It is
obvious that we can't add options from 2.0 also to 1.4.  There are
two ways to mitigate this:

 1. Use "gpg.conf-1" for your GnuPG 1.x configuration

 2. Add "ignore-invalid-options OPTIONNAMES" to gpg.conf before the
    first GPGConf marker line.  This will silently ignore the listed
    unknown options.


Salam-Shalom,
