--- Comment #1 from Norman Rasmussen <norman at rasmussen.co.za> ---
+1. RemoteForward has had the ability to dynamically allocate the
listening port since bz#1003, but LocalForward doesn't currently
support it.

I'd like to be able to do something like:
$ ssh -MNf remote
$ port=$(ssh -O forward -L 0:localhost:1234 remote)
$ client localhost:$port

without having to do a "localport=$(( 32000 + $RANDOM )); ssh -L
$localport:localhost:1234 && break" loop, or something similar.
