gnupg feature request

I think it is safe to say that multi-user networked OS's are the future
even when it comes to Windoze. Right?

Is there any way, shape or form that I could convince GnuPG developers
to make the Windoze version of GnuPG fully multi-user?  As things
currently stand, the binarys do not seem to retrieve settings of any
sort from the Windows environment and, consequently, are not aware of
default locations for storing key rings and settings. I can use

gpg.exe --homedir "%APPDATA%"\GnuPG
or
gpg.exe --homedir "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"\.gnupg

from the command line but there are programs such as Enigmail that use
GnuPG for encryption and all the keys wind up in a central repository
where all of the users can see the private keys.  From a
security/administrative viewpoint this is decidedly less than ideal.

Note that I've also tried specifying the environment variables above in
the registry settings but they are not expanded properly when the
binary's are executed.


Thanks! :-)
