Since cygwin is like unix, I think that if you download the openssh package you can use the 
istructions at:

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=761&group_id=1#keygenopenssh

to avoid to enter the password all the times.

Another tip for anyone else having problems with wxCode CVS: I created a new special release in the

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51305&package_id=114273

page which contains the CVS repository of wxCode (updated to few minutes ago) along with a script 
which allows you to use that CVS repository in write mode.
