can this be worked around by compiling it and running it on
cygwin
(on winxp) ?

Best-case scenario: this would be considered an unsupported
and  
untested platform and the resulting executable shouldn't be
used for  
any production system.

Worst-case scenario: no.

Although, I believe WK /could/ be convinced if funding were
to be supplied.

I believe the Win32 conditional code, ie _CYGWIN_ and _WIN32
defines, has been
removed from GnuPG 2.0.

You may get further along in building the prerequisite
libraries using Cygwin,
but I doubt you'll be able to get a working application
without doing
significant and extensive porting work even on Win2k and XP.
(What few Vista
posts I've seen regarding porting don't look good regardless
of application.)

There is not a lot in GnuPG 2.0 that isn't already in 1.4.6.
What feature(s) are
you seeking/requiring?

I can confirm this.  Compiling natively for Vista is a
torment of the  
damned, at least at this point in time.  The best option is
to cross- 
compile for Vista, which carries with it its own headaches.
