valid point, i forgot that scp -o has not always been supported.  since
you can build the command youself to do third party transfers, i don't see
much need to spend effort on this.

:Changing the default to scp to quiet.. I may consider support, but I still
:see no use for such a patch because one should be checking the $? not the

since most scp's i do are interactive, i don't have a problem with it
being default, but i don't really care.  if you're using batch scp, just
specify -q.
