Hmm. That kinda worked. It got me to the point of realizing that the
problem is that the silly thing insists on makeing ssh-askpass, even
though I don't have X.

I'd just given up on ssh. Now that I realize the problem, I went in and
deleted ssh-askpass from the common file to make, and it compiled and
installed fine.

It works, too. :-)

Thanks!
