Putty uses Windows's WM_COPYDATA message along with a mapped file to
encapsulate the standard ssh-agent protocol.  OpenSSH uses the Cygwin
Socket emulation to directly convey the ssh-agent protocol.  Thus the
rough idea is to implement --enable-ssh-support on Windows and allow
that in addition to --enable-putty-support.  gpg-agent 2.1 already
support multiple sockets for the same connection type.  The main work is
to let Libassuan detect an Cygwin style socket.
