ok. I've started to provide a patch, but have not yet had time to look into
how ssh-keygen is retrieving the key-type from the file. I guess it's done
in key_read(). What about the 'old' types that occur in at least some
of my known_hosts-file, which reads '1024 33', '1024 37' and so forth. How
do they map onto KEY_RSA, KEY_DSA etc? Are they all KEY_RSA1?  Should they 
be shown as if they were of the 'new' rsa1-type? They of course not need to be
matched with e.g. -lt 33 (my filter suggestion) as they all should be 
converted.
