pinentry-w32 works great, but it requires you to be logged in to the
GUI, and _then_ invoke gpg-agent, in order for things to work.  And
you need to do this every time the pin times out.  Obviously not the
end of the world, but having a console one is much nicer, because it
works over an ssh connection.
