I thought so, OK.

Well, this works fine. See the gnupg 1.4.0 cygwin package. What
you propably mean is that it is not supposed to work. ;)

The set_exec_path(GNUPG_LIBEXECDIR,...) command in keyserver.c just
adds/replaces the given string (here: GNUPG_LIBEXECDIR) into the path
environment variable (that only contains the exec-path at that moment).
Works fine.

> Use the runtime option --exec-path to specify a search path
Sure, that works but is not user friendly. Also using
"exec-path /bin" in gpg.conf works but also is not user friendly.

They are, the problem is not finding the helper, but the helper needs
to find cygwin1.dll, therfore the need for /bin.
