I've been meaning to bring this up. A long time ago I wasted many
months trying to use libssh on Windows when I should have been using
libssh2 all because of this text on www.libssh2.org: "This library is
not related to, derived from, or meant to supersede libssh by Aris
Adamantiadis. They are different projects using different code bases".
For some reason I interpreted that as saying that libssh2 didn't do
the same thing as libssh and, as libssh *did* do what I wanted, by
implication libssh2 did not. Doh!
I was overjoyed when I found libssh2 and saw how well it worked on
Windows. I think we need just such a feature list as this and a
little bit more focus on marketing what is an excellent piece of
software.

One major limitation of libssh at the time was that it required the
GNU toolchain (Cygwin/MinGW) so I couldn't use it my Visual Studio
project. I have no reason to believe this has changed.
