Browsing the source, it looks like "ssh -o 'ForwardX11 yes'" should
work. Both ssh and openssh define -o as:
-o 'option'
Can be used to give options in the format used in
the config file. This is useful for specifying
options for which there is no separate command-line
flag. The option has the same format as a line in
the configuration file.
However, ssh allows lines in the configuration file to be of the form
"keyword = arguments" but openssh only allows "keyword arguments".
So you're really running into a difference in configuration file
parsing. Ugh =)
