OSx Mountain Lion ssh-askpass

In OSX Lion (10.7.x) i was able to write an SSH wrapper that used ssh-askpass to input my password for SSH servers, but now with Mountain Lion (10.8) I am unable to use this method. I was wondering how it has changed or how I could set it up to use this again. Some of my clients do not have it setup for me to use a rsa key.

I found this blog that contains a simple shell script implementing ssh-askpass. It works for me for accessing Mercurial repositories over SSH from GUI applications.

Hope that helps.
