strsep() is a really ugly issue.  4.3.3 "early release level" does NOT have
it in libc, later releases do have it in libc and in the header files.

I'd rather not use it, as it makes ssh/sshd compiled with strsep() on
those 4.3.3 patch levels that *have* it incompatible with earlier ones
(bit me today - it's all "4.3.3" but incompatible inside).
