Re: Use existing ssh command if available on Windows platform instead of just failing

[tknerr]

This is the same patch as in #1083 but merges cleanly with 1-0-stable rather than master.

The goal is to enable vagrant ssh on windows if a Cygwin ssh is avaible.

@mitchellh : any chance this would make it into 1.0.6?

[gaffo]

Mitchell, can you please pull one of these windows fixes so I can stop monkey patching my vagrant installs? Pretty Please!

[gaffo]

@mitchellh any word on this?

[smerchek]

This would be really helpful for me as well. I was surprised that it didn't even try. As it is, I've created a custom alias for vagrantssh, certainly not the most ideal, especially when I start to share vagrant boxes with my coworkers.

Sorry I don't want to push features back into the 1.0.x line. It is only for critical bugs. Please upgrade to 1.1+ if you want this feature.

[gaffo]

That's fine now that there is something to upgrade to

@mitchellh sure, I'm on 1.2.2 and happy to the issue solved there. No need for me to get this backported to 1.0.x now that 1.1+ is out 👍

Now that ssh is fixed for the poor windows users out there, it would super-awesome if the shared-folders via rsync (which almost any cloud provider uses) would become windows-compatible as well.

There is mitchellh/vagrant-aws#77 outstanding which fixes this for the vagrant-aws provider specifically, but it would probably be better to provide a common RsyncFolders action in vagrant core which could be reused by any provider (since this is such a common thing).

[tknerr]

for rsync on windows see #1926
