	Where is the Linux port?  I do have OpenSSL.  I actually got
openssh-1.2pre12 compiled and running.  It's just that the most recent
version I find on their website appears to be very heavily BSDified, to
the point of not using a standard make utility, and not having any sort
of autoconf like facility.

	Of course, since I'm in the process of writing a non-standard
make utility, perhaps I shouldn't complain.  Mine will at least produce
shell scripts so you can compile things without the utility though.

Have fun (if at all possible),
