[ale] ssh clients

[Chad Huneycutt]

I personally use putty, and I should mention Putty Connection Manager
(http://bit.ly/HreTT) if you really want tabs.

I don't know a lot about it, but MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) seems
preferable to Cygwin for me.  I know that Windows git package comes
bundled with it, and it seems better integrated than Cygwin.
