I also had an old patch that supported ordered auth methods (the patch 
referenced above requires multiple auth methods in any order). I will again 
offer to update my patch to the current OpenSSH code if the core 
maintainers express any interest in integrating the patch. It was 
previously rejected as "too complicated" (functionality-wise, not code 
complexity).
