Just for the record: mingw32/cpd is older than the mingw.org thing
used today.  They both stem from Colin Peter's orginal mingw32.

Marcus is right, we do not want to support anything else than
mingw32/cpd.  The reasons for this are: Less modifications to the
source, if something useful is missing we can add it to the
mingw32/cpd and we use the same build environment for all platforms.
This ain't no problem because that libgcrypt.dll shall be a
self-contained W32 API thing (except for the parts were we can't do it
(entropy gatherer)).

There are subtle incompatibilities between the different environments
and you need to make sure that all parts of GnuPG are build in the
same environment.  A Cygwin GnuPG and a MSYS GPGME won't work in all
cases.
