Hrm.  Doesn't a Subsystem typically invoke something on the server side other 
than the typical shell session?  But what if I want really is just the usual 
shell session, prepped with the server end of a number of different forwarding 
setups?

I suppose I could write a Subsystem that simply mimics the existing "start a 
shell" functionality, but with my proposed forwarding (and the env. vars that go 
with them) but that seems a little hacky.
