I've just had a look in Craft and it seems that we should be able to reuse
the autotools built binaries without any issue.
(This is how the KMyMoney builds, which use MSVC and depend on gpgme, are
done currently - see
https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/KMyMoney_Nightly_win64/)

According to the Microsoft telemetry information we get there are
approximately 120k users of our signed gpgme binaries at the moment (which
is a similar number to the number of signed ffmpeg binaries - they seem to
be used together as their graphs move in unison with each other)
