Port 0 forwarding implemented?

Hello everybody,

I've read the ssh protocol draft

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-secsh-connect-24.txt

and I wonder if the feature documented in section 7.1, page 15, last 
paragraph, is implemented in OpenSSH or not (sshd chooses the first free non 
privileged port to forward when the specified port number is 0). I need this 
feature and, if it isn't implemented yet, I could write a patch, provided 
someone points me to the correct source file.

Thanks in advance,

Lucio.

P.S: I've already subscribed to this ML, you don't need to CC.
