I don't know for the unix version, but the windows version of pscp can
load putty configurations, which makes it quite easy to do fancy setups
(like going through proxies and such) and be able to use them with pscp.
People using putty are likely to love this feature, while having to
write openssh conf files might be a problem for them.
