I totally agree with you...for our project we can't use cygwin because of
the high licensing cost involved with it...copssh just does great for
us...except I am still trying to get around the issue of using a command
line option for the password. 
Need to explore the option of using a perl script to do this...
Does anyone know if I can recompile the code by providing a password
option?? If so where do I start? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Which is a great idea if someone wants to install all of cygwin. 
However, if they don't and just want ssh then CopSSH is a fine solution. 
  You get the bare minimum you need to run ssh and thats it - which is all a
lot of people want.
