/etc/default/login patch?

My patch below adds an "sshd_config" option called "SysEnvFile".  
The new setting allows you to specify an arbitrary default environment
for SSH login sessions. 

(Curiously, similar behavior is available for AIX users --
check "session.c" for AIX-related #ifdef's and you'll see what I mean.)
