Compile gnuog 1.0.7 in Win2000

[Alec Clews]

G'Day again,

After some advice from Ryan Malayter I have managed to get this to build 
in a much better fashion NOT using edg

1) Install Cygwin from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe
2) Open Bash Shell from Cygwin shortcut
3) Goto directory where GnuPG is unpacked
4) Type in "RANLIB=ranlib ./configure --with-included-gettext "
5) Type "make". Ignore problems with buidling po
6) Type "make install"
7) Set up the registry keys. The program should be located in 
c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\pgp.exe or similar
