Windows ssh-agent toy

[Robert Olson]

If you drop this in some directory, modify it to find a copy of 
send-settingchange.exe, and run it, it'll start a cygwin ssh-agent for you 
and set up the per-user environment registry var for it so that any new cmd 
window you open will have the ssh environment set up for you.

your mileage may vary, it works for me.
