Corinna's version of inetd also does this. I (actually not me, but I was an accessory to the crime) stole that code for ipc-daemon and now IT does this too. The problem, IIRC, is that Corinna is trying to keep the OpenSSH code as close to the official version as possible -- thus, most changes are submitted right back to the openSSH people for official inclusion. But the strange hacks necessary for windows service installation are meeting with, err, resistance. So, either we maintain an official but external patch, or we just continue status quo.
