The 0.9.6 versions and the 0.9.7 versions are different series (for
lack of a better term) with certain incompatibilities, both in source
and in binary.  The difference in source is generally easy to handle
(IMHO).  I don't know if OpenSSH handles the 0.9.7 series very well
yet.

So what I can recommend is this: try with 0.9.7a first, and if OpenSSH
builds fine against it, good.  If not, get 0.9.6i [engine] and use
that instead.
