It depends on what the OS (and, to a lesser extent, the compiler)
provides.  If you have a POSIXish interface, a traditional Unix-like
process model and a 64 bit native type then it is likely to be relatively
easy.  The further you get away from those things the harder it will be.

I suggest you post your question to the OpenSSH development list
([email protected]) as the audience there is much more likely
to have relevant experience or be able to offer advice.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
