That's not really a good enough solution -- it needs to be automatic,
really. I'm inclined to agree about 'all the other ControlMaster
options', which is why I wonder if we should make it (and maybe also
'ask') a separate option.

My first cut isn't good enough either though -- it doesn't work with
protocol 1, because it forks and waits for the '-nNf' child which then
obviously doesn't actually hold a control socket open for it.

I think we need to get as far as making the connection and
authenticating before we fork -- either that or we fork into the
background after the client which starts it has finished its session.
I'll take another look when I can next snatch a few minutes.
