The following set of patches add support to Xend and xm for XML-RPC over
SSH.  These patches are small and pretty self-contained so they
shouldn''t hinder the introduction of XML-RPC over HTTPS.  There are a
number of good reasons to support XML-RPC over SSH.  It requires no
additional open ports simplifying firewall configuration.  There''s no
additional server configuration (or certificate creation).  It also is
rather easy to support from a client perspective.

I''ve tested this series with xm-test and there are no new unexpected
failures[1].  The xm-test runs were done with both the httpu protocol
and the ssh protocol.

This series assumes the application of the XML-RPC Keep-Alive patch I
previously posted.

[1] One of the non-root tests unexpectedly passed since the user I was
running authenticated over ssh as root.
