Bug Description

According to the wiki, XBMC has included SFTP support since at latest version 10 (Dharma); however, the Ubuntu-packaged version seems to have left this out. SFTP does not show up as an option when trying "Add Network Location", and when I try to select an Avahi-announced SFTP share I get no response from the UI and the following lines in $XBMC_ROOT/temp/xbmc.log:

17:24:29 T:139986422699776 WARNING: Create - Unsupported protocol(sftp) in sftp://anonymous:password@192.168.1.103:22/

I'm not sure if this is also an issue in earlier Ubuntu releases.
