I've taken the liberty of binary-editing ssh.exe to change the
hard-coded path from /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth to /usr/bin/xauth and making a
new -9 release.  I am not going to announce this however since it's not
my package.

I have bumped the version on the source package too but have no idea if
rebuilding openssh from source will fix the problem.  I'll leave the
true fix to Corinna when she has a chance to rectify this for real.
