VERSION variable (pointed by sthen@), now autossh use configure.
With this fixes:
- updated option string up to OpenSSH 5.6
- when using -f, set gate_time to 0; the assumption is that
it is being used for infrastructure (i.e. in a system startup),
has been tested, and bombing out just because the remote end is
not up is not the desired behaviour.
- add AUTOSSH_MAXLIFETIME
- fix poll flags so not checking for writable when write done
- compile time TOUCH_PIDFILE option to touch pid file on connection test.
Maintainer drop the maintainership, so I take care of this now.
OK aja@, okan@.

autossh is a program to start a copy of SSH and monitor it, restarting
it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.
The idea and the mechanism are from rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel),
but implemented in C.
ok and review from brad@
