That's very possible.

I downloaded the stock source for pinentry 1.1.0 from gnupg.org and
tried to build it.  After "fixing" one of the build errors (ttytype is
a macro and needs to be renamed in the pinentry source, at least on my
cygwin install), I got it to build and install.  But it won't run
unless you pass `--keep-tty` to `gpg-agent`, and even then it's a
little picky and the agent needs to be killed and restarted
frequently.

I was just wondering if anyone had done anything beyond the 20 minutes
of work I put into it.  If not, then my somewhat hack-ish solution is
a sufficient workaround.

This is with cygwin 64-bit, setup 2.893
