So.. one more thing to consider. I just had a look in the cygwin package
search for packages shipping files in /etc/profile.d/
It turns out that one example already shipping in Cygwin is
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/gnome-ssh-askpass/gnome-ssh-askpass-7.4-1

There, 3 shell scripts are provided to cover users of several shells. I
could do that.
And the contents are:
> $ cat gnome-ssh-askpass.sh
> export SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/libexec/gnome-ssh-askpass"
>
> $ cat gnome-ssh-askpass.csh
> if ( ! $?SSH_ASKPASS ) setenv SSH_ASKPASS ""
> setenv SSH_ASKPASS "/usr/libexec/gnome-ssh-askpass"
>
> $ cat gnome-ssh-askpass.fish
> set -x SSH_ASKPASS "/usr/libexec/gnome-ssh-askpass"
Is there any mileage in the argument that if we do this for Gnome's SSH
helper, we can also reasonably do it for ssh-pageant?
I'll leave this for now and see whether anyone else has an opinion.
Best wishes,
Chris.
