After some searching, I've found what I think is the sources for the 
executables (or rather, patches against the original sources).  As for the 
actual sources, I'm hoping that a linux source rpm of the same version will 
have the original sources intact.

All up, it appears that the binaries are openssh 1.2.14.  The only 
instructions I could find on compiling uses VC++6.0 through a Cygwin shell, 
not MinGW.

Anyway, I'm much happier now that I know where these come from and roughtly 
what they are.  I'd be happier still if I could find such a thing for a more 
recent version of ssh.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
