- (dtucker) [contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config] From Corinna: revamp of the

   Cygwin-specific service installer script ssh-host-config.  The actual
   functionality is the same, the revisited version is just more
   exact when it comes to check for problems which disallow to run
   certain aspects of the script.  So, part of this script and the also
   rearranged service helper script library "csih" is to check if all
   the tools required to run the script are available on the system.
   The new script also is more thorough to inform the user why the
   script failed.  Patch from vinschen at redhat com.
