--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
ssh has for a few years had the ability to query the configuration file
after evaluation of Host and Match options. E.g "ssh -G user at host" will
dump the configuration to stdout.

Via this, I think it's possible for the subprocesses to get a
reasonable picture of the active configuration without formatting a ton
of stuff into the processes' environments.
