adding a pause utility in the distribution

This is going to look silly, but I've seen it asked so many times that
I'm starting to think it should be included in the OpenSSH distribution.
People want to set up persistent tunnels without having to keep a shell
open.  The following program can be used with -f to do just that:

  #include <unistd.h>
  int main()
  {
    pause();
    return 0;
  }

Any chance of this making it into the OpenSSH distribution (and maybe
man page)?
