Hi Stefan,

the new TortoisePlink of 1.5.0r13372 is working great again.
Tested all scenarios I could:
* Unknown server key
* Changed server key
* Key's password

I still suggest to provide TortoisePlink also as a separate tools
download, as it is very useful for other applications too (e.g.
TortoiseCVS)

Thanks for your fast help
Maddes
