openssh unix dev - Jul 2001 - INSTALL

Hi ,
I'm new to openSSH and this environment as such. I had a few questions.
1. Do I need to follow the INSTALL to do the installation of the code. 
2. Can I pick and choose the files (i.e., I only need the ssh
client/agent/server and don't care much about the secureFTP and others).So,
what are the files and the dependancies associated with this. 
3. I tried to just compile the files in LIBSSH_OBJ, SSH_OBJ,SSHD_OBJ for the
ssh part. Am I on the right track. Do I need anymore files.
4. Also, is config.h an "autogenerated file". How about the specific
.h
files like "openbsd_compat/.." files.

I'm trying to port this to VxWorks.

If you compile part of OpenSSH or all of OpenSSH.  The 3 primary
dependancies I told you before do not change.

Your better off just getting './configure;make' working without dealing
with "oh I want XYZ feature or PDQ feature".. It makes thing a lot
easy on
you.  Plus it has a higher chance of getting back into the Portable CVS
tree assuming the patches are tolerable.

You don't need to worry about openbsd-compat/ if you ran ./configure.
Everything keys off the primary config.h file.

I'm assuming that VxWorks has a POSIX enivornment or else this is going to
be painful port.
