Ugh.  Cygwin.   Fast way to frustration on windows..   

Actually, I just got my new powerbook, so theoretically I can run MacPGP
from http://macgpg.sf.net and do it.

However, when I generate a new keypair, that means that I'll either have
two keypairs, or I just don't use the first one anymore?  I haven't
signed anything else with it, and haven't cross signed it at all, so
theorectically moving to a new keypair is fine, correct?

The gpg docs are here
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html
and yes, you need to generate a keypair first before trying to sign
something.

I don't know if it is ok to gen and store keys on apache boxes, though.
Anyone know?

If you can get Cygwin or something equivalent that lets you run gpg and
shell scripts locally, you can use the scripts that I added to
/committers/releases to create and verify the sigs once you have created
the keypair using gpg --gen-key
