PageantBridge is a proxy wrapper (on standard streams stdin/stdout) for pageant/putty messaging protocol (based on memorymap & winapi SendMessage/Postmessage)

Motivation

I wanted to create an alternative to ssh-agent / pageant (see nwagent).

How to use

Spawn pageantbridge.exe (make sure that its stdin is redirected)
This creates a window (not shown) using Windows API registered as Pageant class.

See ssh-agent-js/agentd for usage sample

Incoming request are forwarded to pageantbridge.exe stdout.
Once processed, provide a response to pageantbridge.exe stdin.
