I think the sshfs guys might beg to differ with you on that one.  As 
would anyone who uses subversion or git (etc.) over ssh.  Or anyone 
who's tunneled various protocols using ssh's port forwarding.

And here I was thinking that the entire point of writing computer 
programs was so we could be lazy.

Anyway, Thomas: as long as you're able to parse the responses you get 
from the server, using g_spawn_async_with_pipes() and probably 
GIOChannel, you should be able to do what you want.

It probably would be more reliable to write your own TLS server and 
client, but might not be faster or easier.  I'm not sure about the win32 
issues, though.
