I am working on a project that includes writing an implementation of
SSHv2. At the moment it's not quite usable as a client: I have yet to
implement the auth subprotocol, for one.

If Michael Wilber's suggestion of just using (system) doesn't work for
you, let me know and I'll see what I can do about polishing it up for
release.

(Incidentally, I've used (system) to launch ssh to start remote commands
before: the only sticking point for me was I needed to use the "-tt" flag:

  (process (format "ssh -tt ~a '~a'" machine-name command))

... because I wanted my long-running job to be killed when the SSH
connection closed, rather than living on afterward; giving it a
controlling TTY is important in that case.)
