Here's a better set of patches for building ssh under cygwin.
cygpatch2.tgz.uu
Compared to the initial patch set,
o  This one is better tested :-).  (... although still only on Win2K)
o  Kerberos fully builds.
o  You still need to use the commandline NRL KRB5 kinit.
o  The ssh_setup script *tries* to build /etc/passwd, /etc/group,
   and /etc/resolv.conf for you.  You should take a look at these
   files and hand-edit if need be.  Note that  mkpasswd -d $domain
   took over an hour on my system.  Also note that this script contains
   lots of MS-Windows 2000 dependencies.
o  bind will now find resolv.conf in /etc/, where God intended it to be.
