I did a little looking around, and found the following:

http://www.mail-archive.com/gnupg-users@gnupg.org/msg20573.html

Supposedly it was merged into the v2 source tree a few years ago:

https://code.google.com/p/gnupg-ecc/

It seems that at least some of the development builds incorporate ECC
in --expert mode.  I just tried it on my standard install (GnuPG
v2.0.22 (64-bit)) on a new user, and saw no signs of ECC support.
This says that it's in the v2.1.x source tree, which is probably why I
don't have it:

What release of GnuPG do you normally use?
