K. I looked at it, and it's going to require a lot of work to support. 
However, it's work that ought to be done anyway. For the public/private 
key stuff, I'm currently grabbing the keys myself. I ought to be looking 
for an active SSH agent and, if one exists, using the keys it provides.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. One more thing to throw 
on my todo list. :)
