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.
