Hello,

Testing out master, which I most say works great with Ruby 1.9.3 (i386-mingw32), on Windows 7 x64. Awesome work!

I've issues `vagrant ssh` command which resulted in the following message:

```
`vagrant ssh` isn't available on the Windows platform. The
vagrant.ppk file for use with Putty is available at:

C:/Users/Luis/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key.ppk

To use this create a new Putty session for `vagrant@localhost`
on port `2222`, in the Connection>SSH>Auth
configuration section navigate to the vagrant.ppk file,
select it, save the session for later use, and connect.

For a more detailed guide please consult:

http://vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/setup/windows.html
```

The problem is that `insecure_private_key.ppk` was not generated, only `insecure_private_key`. I managed my way to use `puttygen`, import the existing private key and save it again in a format putty understands.

Seems to me that `Vagrant::Environment#copy_insecure_private_key` forgot to copy it too.

Thank you!
