My whoile point about this was that making ssh choice a compile-time
committment is ridiculous. What if I want to use another ssh later --
why, oh why should I then be bothered with weird incompatible options
coming out of precompiled recesses deep in tla? Sure I can filter and
replace and mangle and play with them with a wrapper, but that would
be ugly and uncalled for.
Choice of an ssh and its options should be fully configurable at run
time, not config/compile time. That calls for an /etc/tla.conf...
BTW, is it a taboo subject in tla -- couldn't find any info on static
configuration of it, other than ~/.arch-params/? Looks like it wants
to be a single tla executable, free and alone at the top. :)
Cheers,
