I released rssh v2.0.4 today.  It fixes bugs in the parser which
affect quoted arguments in the config file, as well as the code which
builds the vector for the arguments to the exec call.  In the latter
case, arguments which contain a space were treated as two sepearate
args.  The man page was also updated to include information about
quoting values which contain spaces in the config file.

This functionality was previously undocumented, so it should affect
almost no one, but it does cause a segfault in rssh versions <= 2.0.3
if you try to quote values in the config file.  For example, you might
want to chroot to a directory which contains a space:

  chrootpath="/usr/local/chroot home"

[Personally, I think including spaces in paths is generally a bad
idea, but there may be times when it is desireable/necessary.]

Additionally, the default shell options were modified to allow only
scp, in the event that no config file is present.
