I'm not actually keen to change another default setting of OpenSSH to an
unsafe setting on Cygwin by default.  It's bad enough to set StrictModes
to no by default and I already have stomach pain due to that.

Especially I don't see why this setting should have another default on
Cygwin as on any other OS.  There's no difference between Cygwin and
other OSes which justifies this measure, right?
