fsh (http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/) is a program that keeps
an ssh tunnel open and multiplexes multiple batch sessions
through that single connection, avoiding slower public key
crypto for things like cvs.
fsh includes an utility called fcp that can multiplex file
copies through this single connection. It relies on scp for
the actual file copying, and expects to be able to pass scp a
-S option to make scp use a fsh's own substitute for ssh.
However, OpenSSH 2.x does not currently have -S. This simple
patch adds it, documentation and all.
