Does this version have the clear-text-after-authentication patch in
it?  The amateur radio people still need this tweak in order to use
OpenSSH over ham radio data links.  The FCC does not allow
encryption of data on our frequencies, but does allow encryption for
authentication purposes.

We don't much care if it requires some new oddball command line
options, as long as it's supported in the base OpenSSH code and
generally compiled in.  We'd like it to eventually be available on
most Linux distributions ready-to-go for us.  In other words,
compiling in the patch from the HPN mods is beyond a lot of hams.
