I've started on a perl module to go through an ssh config and compile what
ssh should do for a given host (mainly to only ssh-add a key when a host is
configured to use it). I would prefer an abstract config backend though.

You can make a compile script that takes ordered parts of a config and
builds an ssh_config and then you're only checking in and/or comparing
project specific bits.
