COPY_SIZE #define

[Nicolas Williams]

NOTE: Your patch to scp.c is incorrect. It only patches the usage()
      function and SCP already has a -B option, so it can't be added
      there, unless the brilliant idea that was mentioned in the scp
      -1/-2 thread of having a generic option (-O?) for passing options
      to the backend is added.

And yes, it's in -current.

Cheers,

Nico
