Looks pretty good.

A few minor issues (patches).  The latter two apply to the non-portable
version too, I think.

 1) redhat .spec file has gnome-libs-devel reqqed twice, can't be compiled
without gnome-askpass
 2) two minor ssh.1 typos that caught my eye
 3) I think DES is supported when connecting with SSH1 (routers..), so a
minor adjustment is required -- this might not be an optimal wording
though.

Also, there was a 4-5-line patch by Andy Polyakov on the list on

which added the support for old Macintosh clients.  That would probably
be a good addition to contrib/.
