Description
plink: unknown option "-auto_store_key_in_cache"
Seems like the version of plink.exe included in the windows installer is not knowing/supporting this parameter. This breaks SSH support at all for windows as that parameter is hardcoded in the tunnel setup code.

Replaced plink.exe from the official putty project with plink.exe from quest software (Quest-PuTTY-0.60_q1) which supports the "-auto_store_key_in_cache" parameter. (closes: #218)

Smuxi should probably parse the initial output and detect if the issue is a not verified fingerprint and then restart the tunnel with windows and allowing interactive input (no -batch parameter) so the user can acknowledge the fingerprint the first time he connects.
Example output:The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You have no guarantee that the server is the computer you think it is. The server's key fingerprint is: ssh-rsa 2048 54:85:98:69:1c:a9:42:39:d9:09:8c:74:fe:a7:2b:cb If you trust this host, enter "y" to add the key to PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting. If you want to carry on connecting just once, without adding the key to the cache, enter "n". If you do not trust this host, press Return to abandon the connection. Store key in cache? (y/n)

Or instead the quest plink flavor of putty should be used instead which supports that special parameter. It's available from: http://rc.quest.com/topics/putty/
