Our installer on Windows explicitly supports plink as an alternative to
OpenSSH.  Putty has a GUI for managing your ssh keys (Pageant).  You  
need
to type your password only once to unlock a key and make it available to
all connections that you start afterwards.

I think it should be special cased.  I use plink myself.
