[libssh2] libssh2 compile success on AIX - needs patch

Hi libssh2-developers,
  
 I compiled libssh2 successfull after some days of try-and-error. I wasn't
able to compile the examples, but the ssh2_sample.c from version 0.14 was
build and runnable with version from 0.15pre (cvs-snapshot).
  
 The problem with AIX was also found and solved by this patch
http://www.mail-archive.com/libssh2-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00003.html
 but the changes are to big - and not accepted yet.
  
 Now I succeeded on AIX (5.2 in my case) with a small change in
libssh2_priv.h .
  
 The problem is that libssh.h is included before sys/poll.h gets included,
where the structure member "event" and "revent" are changed through
preprocessor defines. So my change include sys/poll.h after libssh2_config.h
but before libssh2.h in libssh2_priv.h - but only if needed (#ifdef
HAVE_POLL).
  
 The second change include the file sys/ioctl.h which is needed for the define
of FIONBIO on AIX.
  
 Here is the patch made from daily-snapshot-version of 2007-03-27:

 --------------------------- snap ---------------------------
  
 I applied this patch after running configure-script. You could put it in the
libssh2_priv.h file permanently - because I tested it with this patch also
successfull on HP-UX 11i and Linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9).

Would you include the patch in libssh2-0.15?
