You don't even need a relay to use the windows SSH agent from wsl. Simply use ssh.exe instead of /bin/ssh. I've been doing that for a while (I make a symlink in a folder from my PATH that gets picked up before /bin) and haven't encountered any issues so far.

Good to know, I had an issue when I tried that, but thinking back it was a ssh version incompatibility between the default windows and ubuntu.
