I've just noticed that these patches only work on Python 2.4, because they use
subprocess.  I've split SSHTransport out to its own file (which is reasonable
in it's own right anyway), and if the import fails, it now disables the
XML-RPC over SSH altogether.

If there's anyone out there who wants XML-RPC over SSH on Python 2.3, then a
patch that used popen2.popen2 or xen.util.xpopen.xPopen3 instead of
subprocess.Popen would be welcome.

Ewan.
