Interest in ssh-agent connection retry patch?

[Jos Backus]

I wrote a patch to make the number of times and and the delay between retries
that ssh attempts to talk to ssh-agent configurable. This patch is
indispensible when running multiple ssh sessions in parallel from a script
(e.g. to run commands on a large number of hosts); without the patch, many ssh
sessions simply fail because they cannot contact the agent, rendering the
mechanism unusable.

If there is sufficient interest to incorporate this patch into a future
OpenSSH version I'll post it here.
