  Yes, you forgot LSH (SSH2 GPL implementation):

    <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/lsh/>

and in Debian :

    <http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lsh-utils.html>.

  I would suggest, if it is not too complicated, to keep a crypto
layer common to both OpenSSL and LSH (or any other that would suit).

  The one who writes the code is the one who decides.

Best regards,
Frédéric
