i've already explained why I think we (as in those needing it) building
our own is a worse security approach.  Its also a bit silly for all those
folks to do it themselves; for the same reason that there are binary ports.

i'll need to modify some code, but i'll try plink instead of maintaining
my own.  until then, i've built my own v1 openssh client.
