What does v7 mean? Does it refer to CPU-feature related code like ISSE
or MMX on intel Hardware?

On the RS/6000 I'm running a precompiled binary of OpenSSH. I found a
.bff somewhere on the net. On sun hardware (or better: on everything
running NetBSD), I install from pkgsrc. Although compile times on the
SS2 can be a pain in the ass...

Well, actually I'm using the same keys. Is that OK to fit these needs?

things up a bit, right?
