--------------------------------------------------------------

There is no detection for cygwin yet.
cygwin is installed to get ssh, rsync and scp.
There are several options how to check:
1. If cygwin/bin is in PATH 'where ssh' should do the trick; also it supposed to check rsync and scp
2. Check windows registry if cygwin is in list of installed applications;
3. Ask for location where required utils are installed.
