It's largely a copy of sshx with some pre-connection twiddling and 
out-of-band host selection. I'd rather not actually reproduce it here. 
If you object strongly to my change, I can back it out of course; I'll 
have to figure out a way to insert a dummy %h.

Then it might be worthwhile to remove the section about non-standard 
methods from the manual entirely. In the meantime, it seems perfectly 
amenable to customization by ambitious end users.
