It took a while ;) Max, can you test if the new version works for you?

Use

http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/release/gnupg/setup.hint
http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/release/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.5-1.tar.bz2
http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/release/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.5-1-src.tar.bz2

or point your setup to http://www.scytek.de/cygwin .

If it works for you I'll ask for upload.
