Just trying to understand assuming a 15 minutes timeout:

so as per http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481, I do
i)    setenv SSH_ASKPASS tbd
ii)   eval `ssh-agent -c -t 900`  #I don't see a passwd option here?
iii)  ssh-add -x  #now a password is set
iv)   ssh-add identity-files
v)    ssh-add -X   #unlock - probably immediately or only after 15 minutes?

Questions:
1) wouldn't step iii) lock immediately and not only after 15 minutes?
2) what do you recommend under cygwin/win2k for the SSH_ASKPASS?
