Hi David,

I'm having a problem retrieving keys from keyservers with this release.
With the default configuration, the keyserver helper programs die with a
message that they can't find the cygwin1.dll.

The problem is that by default, gnupg sets the PATH to /usr/sbin/gnupg
when it invokes these tools. The helper programs then die because that
path does not include /bin.

Thanks for testing, the problem report and the *solution*!

I guess that cleaning the PATH is a security measure for other
*NIX versions, but unfortunately collides with the cygwin1.dll
beeing in /bin.

I'll apply something like your patch to the next version.

Thanks

Volker
