Corinna's version of inetd also does this. I (actually not me, but I
was an accessory to the crime) stole that code for ipc-daemon and now IT
does this too. The problem, IIRC, is that Corinna is trying to keep the
OpenSSH code as close to the official version as possible -- thus, most
changes are submitted right back to the openSSH people for official
inclusion.
But the strange hacks necessary for windows service installation are
meeting with, err, resistance. So, either we maintain an official but
external patch, or we just continue status quo.
Is that about right, Corinna?
