[Developers] SSHKeychain svn complile working on Leopard

[Eric Warnke]

As soon as I have a copy of leopard I can peel apart the system to  
see how it works.  I have seen a google tech talk on the use of  
launchd and have a strong sense of what they are doing.  There still  
might be room for value add to the toolchain.  Some of the items that  
have not been mentioned.

1) Notify on agent access
1a) provide different actions based on key requested.

2) Autoload other keys than default ( can probably be solved by  
proper use of .ssh/config )

3) Tunneling ( moving to a launchd system would probably solve many  
issues )

4) Key generation ( has this been included with Keychain Access? )
4a) Key management - provide tools to ssh-copy-id to remote hosts,  
configure restricted keys, ... )

5) sshfs integration

Cheers,
Eric
