Get the keybase.io client, it sets up your GPG pretty nicely. I was able to confirm the downloads on Windows using the standard ``gpg --verify putty.DSA.asc`` and it just worked(tm) in a cmd.exe window. Using the keybase client does not, however, as the signing key for the putty binaries is not on keybase.
Not saying anything about how much sense it makes to verify the downloads, just saying that it does work well on Windows, without any cygwin, mingw or whatever.
