According to the "README.W32" file, it states the following:

"To build it, you need the MingW32/CPD kit, which is available at

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/mingw32-cpd-0.3.2.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz"

Well I've FTP'd to ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd  and did NOT find the
"mingw32-cpd-0.3.2.tar.gz" file, but did find the file
"mingw32-cpd-0.3.1.tar.gz". The other 2 files are there except there is
no signature file.

So I have the following questions:

1) Why no "mingw32-cpd-0.3.2.tar.gz" file with associated signature
   file?

2) Can a person use the "mingw32-cpd-0.3.1.tar.gz" file to replace the
   "mingw32-cpd-0.3.2.tar.gz" file?
   
3) Why no signature files for "gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz" and
   "binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz"?

4) If I install the "mingw32-cpd-0.3.1.tar.gz",
   "gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz", & "binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz" files will I be
   able to compile GnuPG on a WinXP PC with the commands from
   "README.W32" file which are listed below?

   $ scripts/autogen.sh --build-w32
   $ make
   $ mingw32 strip g10/gpg.exe
   $ cp g10/gpg.exe  /some_windows_drive/

   I would imagine the answer is yes because per the "README.W32" it
   states "Don't forget that MS-Windows ist just a temporary workaround until
   you can switch to a GNU system ;-)"

5) Are the install instructions included in the tar files?

TIA!
