Huh? That has nothing to do with a missing bash.

sftp isn't self-sufficient. It's an application on top of ssh.
It doesn't contain any code which maintains the secure connection.
That code is only in ssh and sshd.
You have to package at least sftp, ssh and the Cygwin DLL.
Anyway, the settings when compiling the current 2.9 package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
--with-pcre
Then change line 439 in defines.h to define USE_PIPES. The next
version of OpenSSH will do this by default for Cygwin.
