Any changes that are not for the sole purposes of portability I submit
back to the OpenBSD folks. There haven't been many, because I have
been keeping changes in seperate files wherever possible.

I don't want something like the forest of #ifdefs that the commercial
ssh-1.2.x was.

An excellent idea. I can make this available when 1.2.1.0 is 
released. If anyone wants to do it before now, all you need to do
is a checkout of the OpenBSD CVS source and a 
"cvs diff -D 20000103" in the directory.

Damien
