Well, that's a bit confusing, because I had macports ssh installed.
The build should have looked there first.  I shall open a ticket I
guess.  As for the integration with the OS

 /usr/bin/ssh -v
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009

ssh -v
OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0a 1 Jun 2010

This is why I want to always default to macports ssh.  OpenSS(H\L) is
critical.  I always want it to be up to date.  Nice work btw, ;)
