This one I have no input on. Well I can voice an opinion, and that's
about that.

Here's my opinion: You won't gain anything significant by using SSL to
grab setup.exe. Setup.exe is already mirrored out to multiple sites. 

And adding GPG as a package should be easy. There is already vounteer
binary downloads 'out there'. You just need to merge tehir build recipe
and patchs and the volunteer maintainer instructions.
