Hi.  If I submit patches that make the prompts look more like prompts,
would those patches be welcome?

Before:
  ecashin at nilda ecashin$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
  Need passphrase for /home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa
  Enter passphrase for /home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa 

After (model 1):
  ecashin at nilda ecashin$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
  Need passphrase for /home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa
  Enter passphrase for "/home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa": 

After (model 2):
  ecashin at nilda ecashin$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
  Need passphrase for /home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa
  Enter passphrase for identity (/home/ecashin/.ssh/id_dsa): 

There's a space after the colon, BTW.  If this cosmetic change is
desirable, which is preferable, model one or model two?
