There seem to be quite a few people working in this area outside the
United States ;-)

I've been thinking that it might be better to start again from
scratch with a copy of the ssh protocol spec, the gmp and zlib
source, and one of those free crypto libraries. We could really do
with a free version of ssh (with Windows port :-) whose core code was
under a single copyright/left, methinks.
This is all a bit off-topic for the gnu-win32 list, though...
Cheerio,
