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 ?
