There are still times when it's useful to have this functionality in
ssh itself.  The most common example I run into is when using
ChallengeResponseAuthentication and launching ssh from a window
manager menu button.

I submitted a patch back in December to add ssh-askpass support to
ssh.  What's the status of this?  If it would help expedite, I can
update the patch for the current CVS snapshot.

Please let me know about this.  Thanks!
