NSS seems like a nicer API than using PKCS#11 directly, but it is still
incompatibly licensed. I'd rather see alternate key providers
implemented as standalone agents than patches to OpenSSH, but we might
need to do some plumbing to make this usable (e.g. multiple agent
support).

Why is it incompatibly licensed? The NSS is tri-licensed - MPL, LGPL,
and GPL licensed. Both LGPL and MPL should not be incompatible with
licenses that apply to OpenSSH code. Of course I'd expect that the NSS
support in OpenSSH would always be compiled in only optionally.
