I was thinking about using TeraTerm with lsh's port forwarding. A pity
that TeraTerm doesn't support ssh2. Anybody knows about a GPL'ed ssh2
client for Win32?

So I could compile it without scsh installed?

The problem is the following: You'd want your package to be a Debian
package sooner or later. Depending on a non-free package like scsh,
lsh couldn't get into the main distribution. I see this as a problem
with Debian that could easily be fixed.

But if lsh can be compiled and used without scsh, the problem is taken
away IMO. But that's upon to the Debian people to decide.
