I think this pure PHP library and the PHP ssh2 extension provide a
better API that this proposal will not be able to replicate with
wrapping the SSH command.

For this proposal, it would be nice to see the pure-php version adapted
and cleaned up. For starters, most of the encrypting stuff could be
handled by relevant Crypt_* packages. Fortunately, the license of both
this proposal and the pure-php implementation are the same.

I realize this is a lot more work, but I think it would make a better
package that is more useful for more people.

Cheers,

Mike
