I don't know how ssh-agent works unde Cygwin. It has been many years
that I last looked at Cygwin. How to they emulate nix doman sockets?
That is the crucial question.

I believe gpg-agent prints these environment variables. I can't check
right now because I removed the current installation cause I am about to
test a new gpg4win.
However the crucial question is how the Unix domain sockets are
implemented.
