Compiling GNU Privacy Guard with Microsoft VC++ Version 7.1

This contribution allows GNU Privacy Guard version 1.2.3 to be compiled using Microsoft VC++ version 7.1 (together with the free NASM assembler). To use this version you will need to download the NASM assembler from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasm

and place it in the 'bin' directory of your Microsoft Visual C++ installation (i.e where the VC++ compiler resides).

This version of GNUPG does not support GNU gettext but is otherwise complete. It also uses my AES C code because this is a lot faster with VC++ (I also provide NASM assembler code which is even faster).

To compile this code you need to obtain gnupg-1.2.3.tar.gz and expand it into a directory tree. This zip file must then be expanded so that the directory 'conf-win32brg' resides in the 'scripts' subdirectory of the gnupg directory tree. From the VC++ IDE the solution file 'conf-w32brg.sln' can then be opened and the projects built. The resulting executable files:

gpg.exe ks_hkp.exe
ks_ldap.exe

are placed in the 'bin' sub-directory of the 'conf-win32brg' directory.
