I'll see why gpg.exe is not build/packaged, maybe we should use installed gpg here - no idea. And security.cpp also needs to search for gpg.exe instead blindly assuming that it's in the PATH.
Try to install gpg/win32 from official site.

btw: acessing gpg functions through command line interface is imho very bad style - a nice backend would be much better here...

I'll try to answer your other questions as well, but don't expect too much ;-)
