Yes, ssh-keygen can handle the 'base64; hash; base64; fingerprint
string construction' steps.

There's still the matter of calling both of those programs, storing the
output, comparing the fingerprint strings and conditionally updating
the known_hosts file.

I can do these tasks, and am doing them today.

If that's the workflow the community and maintainers intend, then I'll
stick with it. It seemed reasonable to request (and I was encouraged to
do so) because the ssh client already has two other built-in ways of
doing fingerprint validation.

I'm pretty amused that we managed to produce the same fingerprint
string in our examples.
