gpg.conf must be in your GnuPG home directory. On Windows systems, this is
equivalent to %APPDATA%\GnuPG or, fully expanded,
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\GnuPG

- From the gpg.man file that shiped with 1.4.2:
       --keyserver-options parameters
       This  is a space or comma delimited string that gives options
       for the keyserver.  Options can be prepended with a `no-'  to
       give  the  opposite meaning.  Valid import-options or export-
       options may be used  here  as  well  to  apply  to  importing
       (--recv-key)  or  exporting  (--send-key)  a  key from a key-
       server.  While not all options are  available  for  all  key-
       server types, some common options are:

"Valid import-options or export-options..." -- it's in the documentation.
