keyserver access on Win2k

[Leigh S. Jones]

I was having trouble making gpg for W32 talk to keyservers on both
winnt and win2k.  Probably would have had the same problem on
win9x.  Linux worked fine.  It's probably a protocol problem.  You
have to use http servers -- port 80 -- only, no LDAP, etc.  Worked
it out when I let WinPT take over for me calling gpg and suddenly
there were keyservers that worked...
