tar, gzip etc. in Windows [was: Re: Encrypt a whole directory in a single pass]

[Leigh S. Jones]

I've used cygwin to make/compile gnupg now.  Had to include a few
options on the "./configure" command line to make it all compile.  It
worked.  But, oddly enough, I needed to take care in its use.  The
win32 binaries that I'd placed in the C:\Winnt directory were being
called instead of the desired version, resulting in the use of the
wrong
keyrings.  Networking didn't work quite right.
