Ah, that's what I was doing wrong, I forgot the /Cygwin on the path
(/usr/share/doc/openssh does indeed have a README file but it's not
useful for the extra scripts).

I don't know about breaking the installation, but not using the scripts
certainly doesn't work.  Sometime I'll look at the scripts to find out
why...
