HPN patch for OpenSSH 4.3 released

There have been some changes to the command line switches which are 
detailed on the website. This is more of a stop gap release than 
anything else. This is still in the HPN-11 cycle of patches. We hope to 
have an update to HPN-12 out sometime in March (when I can get some 
freetime). This will conform more closely to the OpenSSH nomenclature 
and argument structure.

Basic functionality has been tested. We're still getting a 20x to 30x 
performance improvement for bulk data transfer on paths with high BDP. I 
don't think we've broken any of the new functionality but if someone 
does find a problem please let me know ASAP.

Also, if anyone here is using the GSI patch (Grid Security 
Infrastructure) a new version has been released from NCSA which 
incorporates the HPN patch.
