	While I'm not saying that his contribution is insignificant, I would
not consider Thor to be the primary developer on the ssh project.  I have
written considerably more code and spent a bunch more time than he has.  I
am not saying that what he has done is unimportant, or that, but Thor
has had more of an effect as the person who got together the initial
organization and funding for the project.  (although recently, Andrew
brown has been more active than I)
