Not sure that we can rely on users having this thing installed. ssh_client 
usage will be set in subversion's plugin (and any other VCS systems when ssh 
is used). It's bad if user will try to perform operation and prompt will be 
opened in console.
 
There is also kdessh from kdeutils. It didn't work for me, so I decided to 
implement similar thing using libssh as suggested in Bug 186276.
