For the benefit of those that might find this set of instructions in a web
search, the above link is not associated with nor supported by this list.
Follow these instructions at your own risk and only if you know the
consequences of doing so.  This list recommends that you use Cygwin
resources to help set up OpenSSH and other packages.  Cygwin-specific
documentation is available under the /usr/share/doc/Cygwin directory.
