While the directory names give off a strong Unixy vibe[1], the text says "On
Windows systems" and "under Windows". Have you tried to create those
directories? I don't think there is any "translation", this is how you should do
it on Windows specifically. (The gpgconf tool is also indicated as
'gpgconf.exe', on Unix systems it would not have an extension.)

Try this:

F:\PortableApps\MyProject\gpg\gpgconf.exe
F:\PortableApps\MyProject\gpg\gpgconf.ctl
F:\PortableApps\MyProject\gpg\home
F:\PortableApps\MyProject\gpg\usr\local\var\cache\gnupg

HTH,

Peter.

[1] Heck, /usr/local/var/cache/gnupg is the concatenation of two standard Linux
directory names. Two for the price of one! It's an odd one, that. Makes you
wonder whether it's a copy-paste error.
