Just to avoid having to setup an ssh tunnel by hand to connect to a
remote image, gst-remote could call ssh itself:

gst-remote --ssh machineSshKnowsAbout --eval...

which would make gst-remote run a child ssh -L
XXXX:machineSshKnowsAbout:XXXX and connect to the local endpoint of the
tunnel.

The same ssh command could also be used to launch the gst-remote
--daemon command on the distant end.

Also maybe gst-remote should only accept requests from localhost by
default ?

I implemented it in d6861adf using netcat on the other side.  A nice
benefit is that now pipes and sockets have more compatible protocols.

It does not launch the gst-remote --daemon command on the remote end
right now.

It makes sense to only accept requests from localhost by default, but
it's not there yet, either.  It could make sense to use the optional
"host" parameter like netcat does (I think).
