Nooo. We should really give some feedback on bad entries. OpenSSH
(version 5.1) complains and refuses to connect if I give it a bad port
number or hostname. It complains about "missing parameter" and bad
port number for these cases. OpenSSH doesn't simply ignore them.

HostName=bad"
Port=hubba

Even if openssh would ignore them I'd think it would be bad if we did,
unless there was some serious compatibility issue here.
