OpenSSH (on cygwin at least) supports SSH 1 and 2.

The comment about key authentication is what I said in previous mails.

If you look at the eclipse code you can see how to construct the CVSROOT string.

Using the external binary is of course possible but I thought the point of the exercise was getting it working all from within the library. You can use currently use an external executable to map a local port to SSH to a remote host (Milos does this I believe) and not bother with any changes anyway.
