Interesting, I've been playing with this lately as well. We use
TortoiseSVN with URLs like:

svn+ssh://thomas@svn.example.com/var/svn/repos-jobs

The private key gets loaded into PAgent so that TortoiseSVN can access
it. That works fine, but sometimes we want to use the command-line
client as well on the same working copy.

For the Win32 command-line client, we added C:\Program Files\PuTTY to
the PATH variable like you suggested. But we are able to use a simpler
SVN_SSH variable of just "SVN_SSH=plink".

But that could be because I didn't bother to protect my SVN SSH key with
a passphrase. (A moderately risky move, but a calculated risk in our
environment.)
