'ssh' uses a pty by default for I/O which Windows programs don't understand.
See the information on 'tty' at:

<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>

I haven't tried installing 'sshd' without 'tty' set.  And, of course,
if this works, it will only work from a command prompt window.  Cygwin
terminals (rxvt, xterm) won't work because they use ptys.
