Robert Golovniov was asking about it over the summer. But getting it to
work in Windows has always had two headaches: 1) reliance on Sendmail;
2) no Win32 equivalent to #!<path>/perl.

1) Microsoft's Services for Unix ships with a Sendmail - haven't even
checked it out, just know that it's there.

2) Wouldn't need to be a .exe. A .pl extension would normally call Perl to
 handle the file. But then the calling code in gpg would need to be hacked
to handle a non-standard call. 8-{(

Just thinking about this earlier in the week. Maybe rewrite entirely in
Perl with modules and then wrap it up in something like perl2exe, but I'm
not sure about the OSS availability of perl2exe.

I'd like to see more on that also.
