ssh_scpA.diff

scp's ability to copy between two remote hosts has always seemed of
very limited use to me, since the first remote host must be able to
establish an ssh connection to the second host.  This is really a case
where agent forwarding comes in handy.  Currently you can already do

  scp -oForwardAgent=yes host1:foo host2:

and the attached patch adds the -A flag as a shortcut:

  scp -A host1:foo host2:

Note that this will forward the agent connection to host1 only.
