I don't get it ... I don't have anything against having 
USA_RESIDENT for RSAREF!
But it's not supposed to be this way for SSH!

As far as I know, ssh was developed in Finland. It doesn't have anything
to do with US export control thing. All ftp sites are not American!
So PLEEEASE explain me, why Makefile for SSH (I'm not talking about 
RSAREF) has this variable.
