It looks like there may be a problem with the ssh-host-config in the
5.1p1-7 release.  It now uses "mount -t", but the -t option is no longer
valid in the 1.7 version of mount.

    -p, --show-cygdrive-prefix show user and/or system cygdrive path prefix
    -v, --version                 output version information and exit
  
  Valid options are:

This is on a vista machine with a clean 1.7 install (with openssh-5.1p1-7
installed from a local mirror since the public mirrors are broken right now).

Switching it back to "mount -o text" seems to work (I'm not sure if that
should be made conditional on 1.7 though).
