Good points.

I should look at moussh with that in mind.  I need to document what it
does anyway, but I also should see if I can invent a not-too-insane
interface that would let fundamentally ssh-unaware programs (which I
think tmux should ideally be) proxy agent connections.

True.  With X, there _is_ a standard for X over TCP; there's a common
case for X over AF_LOCAL sockets, but it's discouragingly far from
standard.

SIGENVCH? :-)
