For what it's worth: I had a quick look what a wrapper script can do, 
and found that "ssh -G $TARGETHOST" can tell you whether that host has 
an ssh_config setting of, for example, "sendenv NO_SFTP" (which will 
hopefully never *actually* send anything, as IIUC the env var would need 
to be *set* for that).

Now if only we could get the hostname(s) without entirely duplicating 
scp's command line parsing ....... ?
