You might want to look at the "autossh" Cygwin package. It handles 
exactly this use case and can be registered as a Windows service without 
any non-Cygwin utilities. Just look at

   /usr/share/doc/autossh/README.Cygwin

after you install the package for details about the service.

I've been using this for years for the purpose you've described and it's 
been working great.
