What's wrong with advising Windows users to use the plink methods,
mentioned by Jason above? PuTTY (which Plink is part of) is free
software, and AFAIK it is the only good native Windows SSH client.
Why fight an uphill battle with Cygwin pty's when a free solution is
readily available?
My suggestion is to recommend the Cygwin ssh for users of the Cygwin
build, and plink for users of the native Windows build.
(I assume that the plink method does work for an average Windows user;
at least for me it ``just works'', I just tried with a recent CVS. If
there are known problems with Plink, please tell what they are, or
point me to some URL where I could read about them.)
