There seem to be quite a few people working in this area outside the
United States ;-)

I've been thinking that it might be better to start again from 
scratch with a copy of the ssh protocol spec, the gmp and zlib 
source, and one of those free crypto libraries.  We could really do 
with a free version of ssh (with Windows port :-) whose core code was 
under a single copyright/left, methinks.

This is all a bit off-topic for the gnu-win32 list, though...

Cheerio,
