it is possible.


I just built GPG using Cygwin with following options:
./configure --target=i386-mingw32 --disable-nls --with-included-gettext

I also had to modify some Makefiles and some other files

and I built idea.dll and I can load and use it with --load-extension !!!!

I used MSVC 6 to build idea.dll because it didn't worked with Cygwin's gcc
(probably I didn't know right switches)
