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
