Given that this requires least (in terms of library dependencies) of
all the Free ssh-askpass implementations available to us, is it going
to be adopted as the default?
It seems to make sense to put this in the main source tree (as
ssh-askpass) and to get rid of the other two, to remove clutter, but
perhaps I'm missing some reason that people might prefer the gnome or
perl-tk versions.
Cheers, Phil.
