To install it from cygwin mirrors: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
Some instructions: http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin.asp
If you need to run scripts, there will be needed some more stuff
than only ssh and cygwin.

NT is recommended (NT4 or NT5).

There is also a ssh mailinglist there:

It does what every other sshd on unix does, too.
