specifying passphrase on command line

[RBlahut at aol.com]

i hope this is correct forum, but i've modified the openssh-3.4p1 so that a 
-z option can be used to specify a passphrase on a command line.   i'm sure 
that there several good (security) reasonz not to do it, but i can think of 
at least 2 reasonz why i would want it.   would my modificationz be worthy of 
submission as an optional patch or as configure option?   if not, may i post 
my changez on my own web site?   thank u for ur time!
