Why does darcs on w32 require the executable to be named "ssh.exe"? Please
examine the "How to install darcs on Windows" section of the wiki, specifically
the "The Manual Process" sub-section and the "Solving problems with SSH"
sub-section.
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/WindowsConfiguration
Observe how much simpler things would be if darcs on windows32 attempted to
execute "plink.exe" instead of attempting to execute "ssh.exe", and "pscp.exe"
instead of "scp.exe".

How about if we checked registry in addition to environment variables?
(And provided a program to set those values).

This problem is currently preventing a user (mithro on irc.freenode.net) from
using darcs on Windows. He has a different "ssh.exe" earlier in his path.

Oh wait -- I take it back. This isn't mithro's problem. But it could have
been, so I think it should stay at "bug". That is: what if the user has an
ssh.exe that isn't plink, or an scp.exe that isn't putty's scp?

I think it's safe to close this bug. Darcs looks for environment variables
DARCS_SSH, DARCS_SCP, etc (as Esa points out).
So it does not require the executables to be named 'ssh'. I think the Windows
config page just did it that way for convenience.

Then I intend to update the cygwin bash wrapper script to set those
environment variables and I intend to update the cygwin portion of
the wiki to simplify the install process.
As for the windows portion of the wiki, I will see how it works to
instruct the user to set environment variables.
