No and it will remain that way for a while. I'm still hoping
to get Cygwin support merged in the portable OpenSSH sources
main tree. If that is the case, I'm able to get smaller patches
checked in easier. Let's name it political.

Personally I have a simple script which reads the pid's from
ps output and kills all sshd then:

====================================
#!/bin/sh
net stop sshd >/dev/null 2>&1
PID=`ps -e | awk '/sshd/{print $1}'`
if [ -n "${PID}" ]
then
  kill -9 $PID
fi
====================================
