startxwin.exe and ssh-agent

Hey guys,

I've googled extensively and searched the mail archives, but I can't
find anything which describes how to configure cygwin to use
ssh-agent.

In the 1.5 world, I modified startxwin.bat to prefix the XWin.exe line
with ssh-agent, and this worked a treat.

How should I do this now? I basically want my whole Xserver to run as
a child of my ssh-agent so all xterms and other processes will collect
the credentials.
