[PATCH] Care for permissions of /var/empty in contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config

Hi,

the following patch explicitely sets the permissions on /var/empty
to 755 when running the ssh-host-config script on Cygwin.  I never
thought it would be necessary but apparently there are actually
users working with a umask of 0.  Sigh.
