I haven't tried the openssh/windows client. I use putty on my
OS-challenged systems. That comes with a pagent command which
caches the private key much like the ssh-agent does on real operating
systems.
If you can't find a similar program in the openssh client, putty
can be found at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
