always accept untrusted host key in scp

[Hamish Moffatt]

I've hacked run-cliopts.c to pretend -y is always passed.. this works 
for me though it does not ever save the keys.

Having an scp flag to pass through switches would be good. Alternatively 
a long option for "ssh" that could be passed through the existing 
mechanism in scp.

thanks
Hamish
