+mdbp-ssh
+--------
+
+This is a backend proxy that performs builds on remote hosts via ssh. On the
+remote side, it calls a separate non-backend `mdbp-streamapi`, that allows
+piping all of the relevant paramters through `stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr`.
+`mdbp-streamapi` calls into another backend to perform the build. As such, you
+need to pass both a host and a backend before passing the build description.
