FYI, I just ran across something, in the openssh versions I've been
using, 4.4p1 and 4.6p1, the -K option seems to have disappeared. -k is
still there, but the getopt() loop in ssh.c:main() doesn't have a 'K'
option. I had tried -K and got an invalid option error, then forgot to
go see what was up with that.
