SFTP with dummy shells

Guys,

There was some discussion a while ago on this list about making SFTP
connections for users that don't have a "valid" shell. The solution i
saw on the list was to use sftp-server as a shell.
Now, that's fine and it seems to work. However, i would like to provide
SFTP access to users with arbitrary shells, no matter if the shell exits
immediately (/bin/false) or not (some #!/usr/bin/dialog script).
This would be a kick-ass feature! :-)
