[project @ Arch-1:robey@lag.net--2003-public%secsh--dev--1.0--patch-100]

don't forget demo_windows.py
update MANIFEST.in to include demo_windows.py and not include the demo
keys (they're in tests/ now).  clean up the README to explain the demo
scripts better now, since there are so many of them.  then fix up the
demo scripts to look in tests/ for the keys.

demo_windows.py doesn't need to call get_pty() (in fact, i think that's
blowing openssh's mind) and was executing the wrong command.

 ***  DEMO
 
-the demo client (demo.py) is a raw implementation of the normal 'ssh' CLI tool.

-authenticate with a password, or with an RSA or DSS key.

+demo_server.py
+    an ssh server that listens on port 2200 and accepts a login for 'robey'
