I totally agree and ask for help here, and btw: I really think we need to rework/update things. I really don't think its a good idea to ship <OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007> with the most recent version. There are just way to outdated components involved (especially everything which relates to cygwin). This asks for trouble. Since cygwin provides newer packages http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=openssh I think there are options. We would even sponsor the open step-by-step documentation to some extent. Just contact me for details.
