It's a good guide.  I have this set up on several Windows machines
using the PuTTY's pageant, and it works fine.  My only comment is that
I don't understand why that page makes it sound as if the pageant
method is somehow inferior to the Cygwin method, to be attempted only
if the Cygwin method fails.  I think they are both equally good
alternatives, with the former being more attractive for someone who
already has Cygwin installed, while the latter is more attractive to
those who don't (because a PuTTY installation is much more
lightweight).
