Yeah, we don't, that's the problem and exactly the reason why I started my work
on this front. Ideally, I want to start private sshd processes on Windows, Linux
and OS X always to not have to change global config files (like stuff in
~/.ssh/) and potentially mess these files up when undoing changes again.

It's WiP though an currently unfinished.

Doesn't matter, but please create a specific Windows-branch for this change.
Given that it will only be used for the Windows release build, either way won't
affect anything else.

This said, I should probably work more extensively on this feature, because even
Linux distros updated to 7.0 and higher meanwhile...
