        * Imakefile: Added patch from Markus Friedl to change use of awk
        (with GNU-specific extensions?) to sed, more likely to be available
        on various platforms.

X11-ssh-askpass is drop-in passphrase dialog for OpenSSH, based solely
on the regular X11 libraries (libX11, libXt), with a default look and
feel similar to the passphrase dialog present in recent releases of the
not-so-open SSH-1.2.x.

Given that this requires least (in terms of library dependencies) of
all the Free ssh-askpass implementations available to us, is it going
to be adopted as the default?

It seems to make sense to put this in the main source tree (as
ssh-askpass) and to get rid of the other two, to remove clutter, but
perhaps I'm missing some reason that people might prefer the gnome or
perl-tk versions.

Cheers, Phil.
