Symptoms:
0. Install Gnu Privacy Guard for Windows or similar (non-msys) alternatives
1. Save login information in .authinfo.gpg
2. Launch Emacs on Windows
3. Launch Gnus (assumes an imap account is configured with a server in .authinfo.gpg)
4. Gnus cannot connect to the IMAP server.

What is happening:
1. Gnus calls nnimap-open-connection-1
2. nnimap-open-connection-1 binds (coding-system-for-read 'binary)
3. nnimap-credentials is invoked, which starts a chaing of calls ending
up in epg-config--make-gpg-configuration
4. This function uses call-process
5. Because the coding system is set to 'binary, the DOS ^M characters
are exposed and stored in the temporary buffer.
6. When epg-config--make-gpg-configuration parses the output from
gpg.exe, it stores those characters in the configuration and version
fields.
7. The system cannot parse those strings and concludes that there is no
suitable gpg.exe file in the system.

Workaround:
Invoke (epg-find-configuration 'OpenPGP) from .emacs. In this situation,
Emacs' call-process uses a suitable encoding to parse the output.

Fix:
a. Set a suitable value for the encoding around call-process in
epg-config--make-gpg-configuration. Unfortunately, I do not know which
value would work in non-Windows platforms.

b. Rewrite all regexps in epg-config--make-gpg-configuration to ignore
^M characters. Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with gpg.exe's output
format to do this with confidence.

c. Revert to previous behavior in epg-config.el
