GnuPG --status-fd vs. Windows

Hello,

I'm calling GnuPG from my Win32-Application to en-/decrypt and sign files.
For logging the signature-check I need to parse the information piped to
'--status-fd'. Using the file descriptor from an opened file doesn't work.
Piping to stdout (1) and stderr (2) works fine.
I investigated the sources and found the parameter '--status-file'. If I
enable this for Windows and recompile gpg it does what I want.
I think using a self compiled gpg isn't the best solution. I'd rather like
to link to the gpg site for the newest release.

Is there any reason that this parameter is only enabled for 'riscos' or
could it be enabled for windows too in the 'official release'?


With kind regards,

Gordon Klos
