The newest version does the scaling automatically without any command line 
options. It also checks for interoperability with the older versions of 
OpenSSH because of the problem with the input buffer not limiting the data 
that it reads in on the window and trying to grow the buffer too large. If 
you have any suggestions as to what would need to be changed we would be 
open to any ideas.
