problems:
1) calling both readconf() for ssh_config and sshd_config
   easy fix: rename struct options for either client or server config
2) however: i don't like the idea of having ssh-keysign
   run the parser code while running w/ uid 0
   we should avoid running that much code in a setuid tool...
   perhaps just disallow ssh-keysign for ssh-agent-setups :)
