I currently do not plan to support pageant, primarly because I am not a 
windows user and so have neither the motivation to implement it, nor the 
immediate know-how of how to interact with the pageant process. (FWIW, I 
once downloaded the putty sources to see what it would take to interface 
with pageant, but it appeared to be non-trivial).

That said...patches are always welcome. :) If no one steps up and 
accepts that challenge, I *may* (depending on a variety of 
circumstances) attempt to implement pageant support, contrary to what I 
stated in the first sentence of this reply. Still, don't hold your breath.
