Testers for new ssh-*-config scripts wanted!

I will read these two scripts "soon".
This won't be a thorough test, but it
will be another set of eyes reading the
code.

Of course, a much better candidate for
reading (and testing the scripts would
be someone who is knowledgeable about
OpenSSH.  I'm simply a user of it.
