Just to avoid having to setup an ssh tunnel by hand to
connect to a
remote image, gst-remote could call ssh itself:

gst-remote --ssh machineSshKnowsAbout --eval...

which would make gst-remote run a child ssh -L
XXXX:machineSshKnowsAbout:XXXX and connect to the local
endpoint of the
tunnel.

The same ssh command could also be used to launch the
gst-remote
--daemon command on the distant end.

Also maybe gst-remote should only accept requests from
localhost by
default ?

I implemented it in d6861adf using netcat on the other side.
 A nice
benefit is that now pipes and sockets have more compatible
protocols.

It does not launch the gst-remote --daemon command on the
remote end
right now.

It makes sense to only accept requests from localhost by
default, but
it's not there yet, either.  It could make sense to use the
optional
"host" parameter like netcat does (I think).
