[hobbit] hobbitfetch replacement with ssh

Cool!  Thanks for the tip.

I was a bit naive in thinking hobbitlaunch might just pass ENVFILE and
LOGFILE to CMD as env variables.  I had just reviewed hobbitlaunch.c and
environ.c and found that hobbitlaunch redirects stdout/stderr to LOGFILE
before calling CMD.  And also the ENVFILE processing is a little more
complex due to the AREA stuff (which implies hobbitclient.cfg is not a
sourceable env file, as it almost appears to be in it's default state).

I'll look at bbcmd.  I was going to hack my own way through this, but if
there's already an existing path, I'm all for the easy way!

Thanks

You can use bbcmd.  So "bbcmd hobbitclient.sh".  bbcmd will set the
needed environment variabels.  You probably have to specify the full
path to hobbitclient.sh.
