Ok, Niels is a fast developer.
The tarball at http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html 
(not the patch) is the appropriate item to download.

It still messes up on me for one strange client of mine and it still doesn't
like putty but it looks like some other ssh's n stupf work now. Who
knows, by the time you read this Niels may have fixed it all up.
