About how much of the code put into our version of the OpenASSH
port migrates back into the main CVS souce tree?  If most of
it then at this point it should be easy to provide a patch
set to IPv6 and provide it out to the list for those who
want to attempt the inital port.  Even if it's just locating
and building stubs into our current version to support IPv6
down the road.
