Subject: [PATCH]Add ssh support to 'xon'
Patch-Mainline: to be upstreamed
Git-commit: e967f71f0432cdd9b4ffb25bca5ad8dff7295c22

'xon' has been around for ages, it's a small script that can be used
to start any xclient remotely.
It did so by opening a shell connection using 'rsh' or 'rcmd' to
connect to the remote system. Today (hopefully) nobody has rsh
installed any more for security reasons.
'ssh' has become the remote login tool of chioce which also allows
to tunnel the X protocol over a secure channel.
This patch adds ssh support to xon to make it useful again.
