David--

Vista has radically changed the process of compiling code for the  
platform.  Neither MinGW nor Cygwin GCC work under Vista without  
substantial kludges and workarounds; Microsoft recommends against  
VS.NET and VS2003; VS2005 is only supported with the latest service  
pack and some known issues.  GnuPG will not build with VS2005 without  
some major overhauls to the build environment.

While I know that generally the Windows build system involves Linux  
and a cross-compiler for Win32, it's very possible behind-the-scenes  
changes in Vista will lead to breakage.  It may be worth considering  
telling people that Vista is an unsupported OS for GnuPG 1.4.x.

(goes back to hacking CMake and VS2005's command-line compiler)
