 In what way is this (POSIX shell) script a 'hack'?  It's already been
decided that it's impossible to do it right in the main ssh code (what if
you rename ssh was IIRC the main argument), and C is not the right
language to do the job (particularly given it's dodgy string
handling).

 Also OpenSSH already distribute one shell script (in contrib) -
ssh-copy-id (which *is* dodgy and hacky, but I'm working on it).

 And I might note that one comment in the original discussion was that 
a shell script was precisely the right way to do it.  If you don't
want 'hacky' shell-scripts then feel free to revert to the old way of
doing it, or write an equivilantly portable and bug-free C-programme.
