Advise request on adding a new SSH variant

Hi Team,

I am getting a bunch of requests from my team (and customers) to make SSH configuration easier on the NonStop platform. We are currently using a wrapper script to drive the variant of SSH on the platform but that is not convenient for many people. I would like to add an ssh.Variant called "nonstopssh", or something like that, which takes a few extra parameters. -Q (quiet), -Z (don't display the banner), -p port (obvious but typically required), -S (a system process name). The code in connect.c looks pretty straight forward, but I'm wondering about the best way to pass in a process name (it would be something like "$ZSSHX" - usually an environment variable "SSH2_PROCESS_NAME"). The program name for SSH, I assume, could come from GIT_SSH_COMMAND (typically "/G/system/zssh/sshoss", or I could force it if not supplied). I'm also wondering about controls for the -Q and -Z parameters. Should I just use the environment for this and build up args or is there a more appropriate way of managing these values?

Thanks in advance, Randall
