Comparing that with my repo for the Debian package:

  http://git.hands.com/ssh-askpass

it seems the OpenBSD version was taken from a 2000 version of Jim's
code, whereas Debian's is based off of a later version (2001 -- the
latest I'm aware of).

Looking at this also reminds me that I've had some minor edits relating
to the manual that I've been failing to upload for several years by the
looks of it.  :-/

I had meant to do a final upload, and then orphan the Debian package, on
the basis that I don't use it myself any more ... but apparently failed.

If anyone here wants to adopt it (as a Debian package and/or as
upstream), or help with the U2F request, I would certainly welcome that,
and it looks like Jim would too.

Cheers, Phil.
