I don't think that it is hard to fine:

  #
  # Pth emulation
  #
  
  server ftp://ftp.g10code.com/g10code/w32pth
  
  # checked: 2012-03-28 wk - still sufficient
  file w32pth-2.0.2.tar.bz2
  chk  9f43acb64867fb54b456f8a1187307ceb7bdf183

That is from packages/packages.current.  You use gpg4win?  No, then
better start using this.  Everything you need to know is there:

 http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpg4win.git;a=tree

doc/README.W32 tells you how to change the defauld build tree.

Nope.  Actually the last release was done with the 32 bit toolchain from
mingw64.


Salam-Shalom,
