Cygwin and 1.0.7

I apparently misread the earlier post "Cygwin and 1.0.7", taking
"-kvv" for "-kw".  Most likely this was due to the default font
translations being performed by my e-mail tool at work.  Here
at home the vv looks like two v's.  I wasn't familiar with any
of the -k commands, because my experience with gpg started
with 1.0.6.
