	I'm going to do this - I'm the weird situation where
	on the other hand I can't use ssh2 for my business and
	on the other hand have a proper license for the commercial
	version;)

	Note, I hate the license. However I have people who
	really want it for compability with Windows SSH v2
	(it allows scp from win).
	
	I will package it as ssh2, make it provide /usr/sbin/ssh2d
	etc, and the user can change the symlinks (/usr/bin/ssh) to
	choose which version to use. That's the upstream solution..
