why no gpg-agent for Cygwin?

As long as I've been using Cygwin, there's been no gpg-agent packaged with
gnupg.  I've always assumed this is for some good reason, like the insecure
memory warning I get when I enter a passphrase.  But I don't exactly know,
and I can't find any information about it.

So, why isn't there a gpg-agent for Cygwin?  Any hope of having one some
day?

Thanks,
Andrew
