Yeah, that seems reasonable. I'd also suggest pinging the libssh2
mailing lists to see if there's another API that you've missed, or if
they can explain why it's necessary to provide the public key and
private one.
So... something to think about in parallel with that; if we cannot
deal with this cleanly using libssh2, should we go back to the
original plan that Akshay and I discussed privately, which was to have
pgAdmin spawn ssh (or putty on Windows) processes to provide the
tunnels?
