[PATCH] Add scp -1 and -2 options to OpenSSH-3.0.2p1

[Lacoss-Arnold, Jason]

Personally, I wish it was in the current release as it'd greatly aid our
migration efforts (from a poorly done 2.5.1 implementation) and is a lot
easier to communigate to clueless users.

We've finally managed to piggyback a real ssh deployment onto a high profile
project, and some of the user education is really sucking.

Thanks,

#1 - OpenSSH/OpenBSD is not Debian.  What you do to the source is your 
business, but you only add to the confusion (if there is any at all).  

#2 - In TWO years of helping people with ssh compiling, configuring, and
using.  I've seen SIX people (80% of them are on this list!) whine about
lack of -1/-2.  The others where happy to use -oProtocol=[12] to do their
job.

NOW please.. tell me.. *WHERE* are these MASSES of people crying out for
the -1/-2 option for scp?  SIX people out of almost a thousand plus
people I've interacted with.

<sigh>  Waste of time..
