Others have presented some of these, but workarounds include:

* copying the fabfile itself to the gateway system and calling 'fab'
on the gateway
* writing a run() wrapper that prefixes the command with 'ssh', e.g:
def grun(cmd): run('ssh realtarget "%s"' % cmd)
    * This can get thorny due to adding another layer of quoting, but
for simple stuff may work fine
* trying out the monkeypatches posted here:
https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/38
    * Which should hopefully get merged soon, so keep an eye out.

Best,
Jeff
