Attached is a patch for an almost complete implementation. All that
remains is the "file not readable is not an error" logic.

Adding the following to your config file should read the named file in
place.

Include "~/.ssh/config.customer1"

If the file is not found, only a warning should be given, like so:

warning("%s line %d: Include file \"%s\" not found - skipping.", ...);

~/ and ~username expansion should be available.

Attached is a patch for an almost complete implementation. All that
remains is the "file not readable is not an error" logic.
