Please do not use an MSYS build (or a Cygwin build).  This is not
supported because GnuPG has full support for Windows and trying to build
a mix of a Unix and Window version will eventually run into problems.
Further, and more important: We have never done an analysis of such a
build regarding the random number generator.  Take care not to run into
something like the OpenSSL RNG problem Debian once had.

You should be able to build GnuPG for Windows on Windows using WSL2 with
Ubuntu or (if available Debian Bookworm).  Not tested though.
