I like this idea - we could probably reuse most of the askpass code to obtain
the answer (which should still IMO require the _typing_ of "yes").

It wouldn't be too difficult to massage x11-ssh-askpass
to provide a real sort of "yes-or-no" functionality, as
long as we all agree on how to tell ssh-askpass to "be
a yes-or-no dialog instead of a passphrase dialog".

Then again, xmessage works for that sort of thing already;
a shell wrapper around it would be even easier....

The patch is nice and shorter too.

The "yes"/"no" response won't be visible in the
SSH_ASKPASS program, but I don't
think this is a major problem. Perhaps we could arrange some standard way to
tell the askpass to echo (cmdline arg?)

oops - I failed to see that Jim was already reading this. 

I wouldn't want a click-for-accept-this-key dialog box. Forcing people to
type
"yes" has a hope of making them stop and think for a second or two
about the
validity of the key.

Markus committed support for this a couple of days back and I merged it into
portable last night. Open a seperate bugs if there are any issues with it.
