Agreed :)

The header patch is short and benign, and it seems more than a couple
of pairs of
eyes have viewed and "approved" it. So can we get an ACK?

Here is a link to the patch.

Once this is accepted, the rest should be straightforward.

What is stopping this is really the same old problem with sending an AUTH_FAILED
reason back to the client -- once that is solved easy to support this
with minimal
changes to the plugin code.

I have some ideas on how to solve the former without too much
refactoring, but let's
get the static challenge support in first.
