 I think the best way to handle this is with a separate
 $ssh_keygen_program line. If you're going to do it, might as well go all
 the way. Since you are using 4.4 Release I have included a diff against
 that release, and in case someone thinks this is worthy of commiting,
 I've also included a patch against -current (the delta between -4.x and
 -current is too big for only one set of diffs).
 
 David, please note that you will have to overide the value of
 ssh_keygen_program in your local /etc/rc.conf.
 
 
 cheers,
