Bug Description
The config parser does not support Host files with more than one host. This is acceptable syntax, and it seems reasonable for paramiko to support it. The version of the SSHConfig object below has been changed to support the syntax.
class SSHConfig (object):
"""
Representation of config information as stored in the format used by
OpenSSH. Queries can be made via L{lookup}. The format is described in
OpenSSH's C{ssh_config} man page. This class is provided primarily as a
convenience to posix users (since the OpenSSH format is a de-facto
standard on posix) but should work fine on Windows too.
@since: 1.6
