sdesc: "SSH agent for Cygwin/MSYS that links to PuTTY's Pageant"
ldesc: "ssh-pageant is a tiny tool for Windows that allows you to use SSH
keys from PuTTY's Pageant in Cygwin and MSYS shell environments.
You can use ssh-pageant to automate SSH connections from those shells, which is
useful for services built on top of SSH, like SFTP file transfers or pushing to
secure git repositories.
ssh-pageant works like ssh-agent, except that it leaves the key storage to
PuTTY's Pageant. It sets up an authentication socket and prints the environment
variables, which allows OpenSSH connections to use it."
