You're right, it's empty.

It did run into permission problems -- the /etc/ssh* keys were not
readable.  Looks like chowning them didn't help at all.  Finally, I
resorted to removeing them and re-runnning ssh-host-config to
regenerate.  Now running sshd directly works, but trying it through
cygrunsrv still has the same problem...
