michael's openssh for windows

[jwaterbrook]

 A comment about the script method:

for some reason, this didn't seem to return any result.
I added /usr/bin/sftponly to the passwd file instead of /bin/sh or 
/bin/switch
and created a /usr/bin/sftponly file with this inside:
#!/bin/sh

echo "$*"

/bin/sh

however, this did not create any output.  So I have a feeling, nothing 
is being passed in this build.

I may be going at this the wrong way, so if anyone would like to correct 
me, please do so.

Thanks,
Johnny
