Title: use ssh client on Windows too if it exists

When using unxutils (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) or something similar on Windows then there is a GNU ssh installed. When it exists, then it is possible to use "vagrant ssh" command on Windows too.

It could be also possible to make Windows users' life easier by downloading automatically Putty's command line client Plink and use that instead of ssh.exe.

But is there any reason why Ruby's Net::SSH isn't used instead of external ssh binary?
