Update of #1699 versus 6.7p1

Updated Darren's patch. Testing limited to compiling and basic client
functionality; no server testing.

It looks to me like the ability to have signals "automatically passed
on" is no lnnger present. That functionality is what I am really
looking
for: We have some users that require the ability to pass SIGINT,
SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM to remote porcesses in a manner similar to what
rsh
supports.

I like the idea of adding -O support for sending the signal. That might
be more useful than the ~S mechanism. I think I would lean towards
something like: -O signal INT rather than imitating kill(1)'s syntax.
