Can't:
*           Copyright � 1995-2002 VanDyke Software, Inc.
*                       All rights reserved.

VanDyke has rather conflicting licensing information in it (the actual
source file says it's okay to redistribute it.  But requires that you
add VanDyke's Copyright notice to the openssh documentation.  Of course
they don't provide the patch to do that for you.

Considering that openssh is BSD license you can't assume that deritivate
works are licensed under the same terms.  

So at least until vandyke clarifies their license I don't see how we can
include this.

And that's not even considering the flak from Theo we are likely to get.

Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
