Call for testing: OpenSSH-6.3

[Kevin Brott]

Applying patch to openssh-SNAP-20130806.tar.gz - and testing against oldest
four hosts gives ...

Using http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/openssh-SNAP-20130806p1.tar.gz

OS              Build_Target                CC

# RHL     Red Hat Linux
# RHEL    Red Hat Enterprise Linux

# *1 --without-zlib-version-check

So it looks like that patch works fine for the hosts with the previous
build issue - without breaking the ones that already worked.
