Call for testing: OpenSSH 6.6

[Kevin Brott]

After manually tweaking the dhgex.sh file (gnupatch even un-wrapped still
won't apply), and pointing the make test sysconfdir to the installed config
directory on my Debian box - all tests do pass.  But I'm not sure the
config suite should assume there's already a working ssh config somewhere,
and go looking for it (HP-UX uses a non-std location, so do our localize
builds), as some baseline systems won't even have it.

This bit works with gnupatch to fix dhgex.sh for the CR issue ... but
fixing the CR issue in the test file might make more sense and avoid
needing this.
