Inter-op and port (wolfSSL + openSSH)

To whom it may concern,

I work for a company wolfSSL .Inc. Over the summer some of our engineers
have worked to build openSSH with wolfSSL instead of openSSL as we were
tired of constant security issues needing patched due to openSSL
compilation. As a result of the efforts made we would like to submit a
patch that offers users an alternate configure option when configuring
openSSH (--with-wolfssl). Similary in our libraries we now have the option
"--with-openssh".

Could you please get this to the relevant individual(s). We have an altered
version of openSSH we currently use and a README to go along which will
make initial testing / integration easier.

Additionally we are conscious that the changes we made for our purposes may
not reflect the goals of the openSSH community as a whole. We would
therefore like to discuss the goals of openSSH so that if a patch is
implemented, that patch will reflect the goals, wants, and needs of the
openSSH community as a whole and not just us here at wolfSSL.

Thank you so much for your time and we look forward to further discussion.


Kind Regards,
