Can you elaborate how this is different from cygwin itself? Cygwin
offers both an X server and ssh. And you can choose to install only
the components you are interested in. Why something special? Why putty
and not openssh (from cygwin itself)? What are the advantages?

FWIW I use cygwin to open ssh/X connections to remote Linux computers
from Windows from time to time. Linux-to-Linux works better, but
cygwin-to-linux is usable.
