--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Thanks - this is a nice idea, but we aren't interested in supporting
run-time loading of libraries inside OpenSSH. There are a number of
potential problems that concern us, including figuring out the library
name on multiple platforms (your patch hardcodes one, but there will be
others), binary incompatibility between the headers on the build host
and the libraries on the host running sshd, etc.

I have some long-term vague plans to factor all the authentication
methods out into helper programs. This would seem to solve your
particular problem (as well as my primary goal of making the auth code
more testable), but it is still a fair way away.
