Well, a .tar.bz2 is just like a .zip. Extract all the files to the
directory where you've installed 1.2.5 (you may backup the old files
in advance), replace the old binaries and it'll run just fine because
a working environment for 1.2.5 is still working for 1.3.91.

That instruction is good but a little outdated and I've written
something complementary -- "Building GnuPG 1.3.x for Win32 using
MinGW" at http://www.smth.org/pc/pccon.php?id=3683&nid=85555. If you
have problems following instructions in these two articles, feel free
to contact me through emails.

And there's a third way, since you have a working FC2 -- you can
cross-build it under the CPD version of MinGW which is available at 
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/mingw32-cpd-0.3.1.tar.gz. I
reckon there are few problems because this way is official :-)But I'm
too lazy to try it out.
