bzr+ssh on Windows?

[Maritza Mendez]

Ok.  I finally stopped fighting myself long enough to think about what
must be happening.  :)   Apparently ubuntu provides an ssh-agent by
default (?) so I set up pageant and everything is good.  The nice
thing about putty is that my users will not need cygwin to generate
their keys.

I realize that this is offtopic now.  Thank you all for your
indulgence as well as your help.  I am going to write up my notes and
see if they might be helpful to add to the wiki.
