Advanced SSH config

Enhances ssh_config file capabilities

This program is called by ProxyCommand from lib-ssh It works with ssh, scp, rsync, git, etc

The new .ssh/config file become .ssh/config.advanced with new features and a better regex engine for the hostnames. Each time the script is called, it recreate a whole new .ssh/config, so be careful, backup your old .ssh/config file !

• regex for hostnames - gw.school-..domain.net
• aliases
• gateways - transparent ssh connections chaining
• includes files
• real local command - executes a command on the local shell when connecting
• intelligent proxycommand with fallbacks
• inherits configuration
• variable expansion
