Add GPG to Windows bzr installer?

Asked by Aliaksei Vasileuski

I runned "bzr sign-my-commits" and got:
Failed to gpg sign data with command "['gpg', '--clearsign']"

I guess the reason is GPG is not installed on my Windows box.
It is reasonable to add GPG as optioanal component of bzr installer for Windows?

It seems kind of reasonable, because we generally want to include all the dependencies. On the other hand to actually make use of the gpg features the user will have to install a key and set trust on other peoples' keys, and to do that they have to interact with gpg directly. If the person has a GPG key on the machine, it's reasonable to expect they'll have GPG installed. Therefore perhaps we should just recommend they install it separately.

Can you help with this problem?
