Are you volunteering to add a /src/openssh/release.sh which downloads,
compiles and installs OpenSSH?
If so: great!

We already have one on src/openssl. However it seems to hang up when
trying to build 0.9.8q while generating the .def files.
Maybe 1.0.0c will work.
For the OP: in msysGit, to add a new external utility we create a
release.sh script in src/* that handles downloading, building and
installing the package. src/vim/release.sh is a good example. To
upgrade someone needs to perform whatever changes to the release
script and ensure that the patches (if any) are still ok. Once the
release.sh script has updated your local copy the result can be pushed
upstream.
Yes, but the OP also suggested upgrading openssh, so someone would
have to make an install-script for that to upgrade it.

Yeah, I've seen the same. I haven't debugged it, though. Just noted
that it seems to be stuck in a perl-script.

I haven't tried this, but perhaps it will? Unfortunately, I don't have
the time to look into this now...
