Right; I'm using Cygwin with SSH version 2 servers just fine.

Also right. However, on Debian Linux, ssh will prompt for a passphrase
when running under Emacs. So something is different under NT/Cygwin.
Here's how I start up Emacs to use ssh on Windows NT:
bash $ ssh-agent bash
bash $ ssh-add
<provide passphrase>
bash $ emacs &
Now emacs subprocesses can use ssh without needing to prompt for
passwords. Of course, when I installed ssh, I did ssh-keygen, and
copied the .ssh/identity.pub to the servers I want to talk to.
Works great.
