hello!

one thing i'd like to see in OpenSSH is (optional) IDEA algorith support.
this would be useful especially in an environment which has a mix of old
ssh v1.2.x and OpenSSH installations. according to Ascom non commercial
use of IDEA is free (http://www.ascom.com/infosec/idea.html). also, there
are countries (e.g. Finland) where IDEA is not patented. here's a patch
suggestion for IDEA support (autoreconf has to be run after patching the
source).

thanks,

best regards,
