AFAIK, it is not OK to start an msys session with cygwin1.dll on the
path. So no, I don't think there is a way to do this.

I have the same understanding.

Here is how I solved the problem. I run cygwin sshd on the normal sshd
port. Then I run this server, http://www.kpym.com/en/Overview.htm,
on port 23 (pick any port). With that solution, I can then start msys's
bash without cygwin involved. It's not perfect in any way, but it works.
