A cygwin tool should be available in source and buildable with gcc so
just shipping ntrights.exe with Cygwin is a no-no.
The problem with using ntrights.exe is the fact, that it's not part of
the OS. Therefore scripts like ssh-host-config or postinstall scripts
can't rely on it's existance. So, I guess we will have to have some
self-written tool to do basically the same as ntrights.exe
