(Get the code!)

No, I don't think it's a stalemate at all, it's just not quite trivial:
We can pursue either or both of two courses:
1- Encouraging use of paramiko on unix; a good first step would be to
ask unix-based devs to try it. This may be easier if there was a
config option as well as a variable. We can just ask on the list. In
fact I'll just try it now!
2- Hooking into openssh so it calls back to our uifactory to get the
password and other things.
