Setting up CygWin

I'm moving away from using Linux (mainly due to lots of small annoyances). I now use CygWin in XP. There is one configuration thats vital for X11 forwarding:

echo "ForwardX11 yes" > /etc/ssh_config
echo "ForwardAgent yes" >> /etc/ssh_config

Else you won't be able to send back a remote window (of course you need to set up all the X11 software first).
