SendEnv is additive, it does not replace existing config when you list
a new variable, instead it adds to the existing variables.

So all you can do is add a variable, or remove a variable which was
_already_ set earlier in parsing, not prevent one from being set in later
parsing.

According to the manual, the config files are parsed in this order:

   1.   command-line options
   2.   user's configuration file (~/.ssh/config)
   3.   system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config)

So, as far as I can tell, you will need to remove the existing entry
from /etc/ssh/ssh_config, there's no other way to override it.

Hi Stuart,

The man page points to the "PATTERNS" section in this context, so
how about

	SendEnv !LANG !LC_*

or something similar?
