Then you still have the same problem of scp not working.
Configure does give ample warning when it modifies the path.
I figure if someone REALLY wants a path that doesn't iclude the location
of scp they can edit config.h after configure runs.

The per platform defaults were an attempt to make "ssh somehost somecommand"
behave the same as rsh would on that platform.
I don't think I like the '.' ethier. That's the PATH rshd used.
Probably for sshd we should not include '.' in the path even the platform's 
rshd did.

Speaking of PATHS. For some version after 2.5.1p2 we should look into
adding support for setting the path according to the PATH/SUPATH
lines in /etc/default/login on those platforms that have it.
(SCO, UnixWare, Solaris, others?)
