Let's just go with the change to add 'pcomplete-remote-file-ignore' for 
now. I'll have to think more about how Eshell can selectively ignore 
remote files correctly in all cases; there are a bunch of areas where 
Eshell could be smarter about completion already, and I have the feeling 
they'll conflict with each other if we don't plan this out carefully...
