The ssh.exe from msysgit seems to be built with `SSH_ASKPASS` support, based on strings. But, I cannot seem to get it to use it. OTOH, the ssh from cygwin did support this. Just had other problems so it's not being used any longer. At a guess, from reading ssh's code, I might need to find a way to defeat ssh's isatty check on windows. hints that there might be a way to start the process "with CreateProcess() dwCreationFlags DETACHED_PROCESS" to make it work.
