I seem to recall hearing something about this, but I can't quite recall.  I
would try using 'gpg --edit-key' to remove the passphrase, export the key
and copy it to a floppy, and then reinstate the passphrase.  Take the
floppy and import the key into PGP on the Windows box, and then destroy the
floppy.

I *think* this'll probably work, but I'm not sure.  (I think I might've
seen this in the FAQ, but I can't say confidently.)

Let us know what happens.
