Ok, sorry for perhaps not being clear enough: this is for being able to
load the Monotone RSA private key already _during login_ to the Windows
desktop, of course. So it is already available when you login to the
Unix servers the first time. For just a _temporary session solution_ one
can simply use the Unix ssh-add(1) command and this way load the key
into Pageant remotely, of course. But that's not what I wanted. I want
that the Monotone RSA private key is loaded already at desktop login
times -- together with the other (regular) SSH private keys.
