If you use the latest Libgcrypt development version (git master) you
would have IDEA support.  However, I strongly discourage the use of IDEA
because it is an old 64 bit blocksize cipher with no advantages compared
to modern algorithms.  The only plausible reason to use IDEA is to allow
decryption of old PGP encrypted data.

We may eventually provide a gpg4win installer with some IDEA support.
