plink on windows without "-ssh"

[Jason Ramsey]

Hi,
  I use GNU/emacs and the latest stable tramp version.   These 
connections are to the "profile" within putty to handle various 
customizations that are stored there.  In order for this type of 
connection to work properly the command needs to be generated with the 
"-ssh" switch.  I have been accomplishing this by customizing the 
version of tramp that I use slightly.

Does that capability exist already?
If not what would be the best way to implement it without interfering 
with current tramp functionality?
