... and even go so far as calling your patch reverting my refactoring
a hot-fix, why don't you just go ahead and merge the result over my

At this point, you are simply being silly.

How is it that this patch cannot be applied when, and if, that
hypothetical config setting is introduced?

Maybe I am dense here, but I would really like to know why this
preparatory patch must be applied *now*, when there is nothing to prepare
for.

Isn't "Putty is not a command but is also handled as if it is a valid
implementation of SSH" a bug?

If you think it is a bug to handle an ssh command called "putty" as if it
were plink, sure. I do not think there is a valid use case, but hey.

Ciao,
Johannes
