So I'm not going to be able to test it.  Can somebody check whether it
works with a current version of Putty?

Note that for GNUish reasons, I promoted lsh as the first choice.  :-)

Someone will have to volunteer to verify that it works with the F-secure
thing too (I guess this is http://www.f-secure.com/products/fsssh/).  Or
we can leave it as is, hoping for the best, or drop it.
