As far as I (the author) knows, sshuttle is the only program that solves
the following common case:
* Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.
* You have access to a remote network via ssh.
* You don't necessarily have admin access on the remote network.
* The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN protocols
(IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you are the admin and you just got
frustrated with the awful state of VPN tools.
* You don't want to create an ssh port forward for every single host/port
on the remote network.
* You hate openssh's port forwarding because it's randomly slow and/or
stupid.
* You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because it's disabled by
default on openssh servers; plus it does TCP-over-TCP, which has
terrible performance

While I'm here, patch out pytest-runner from setup_requires and add it
to tests_require. It's a test dependency, and pytest upstream
shouldn't 'recommend' otherwise in its 'Usage:' docs.
