Just a general point. Libtool doesn't solve a problem on any particular
platform, instead, it's point is to allow maintainers to avoid having to
think about platform specific peculiarities.
However if you maintain the VMS port for libssh2, and don't want to use
libtool, that's fine, but then you need to stay on top of API/ABI
changes etc manually so the same problem doesn't hit VMS users.
I think a VMS directory, like the win32 directory, is fine. But it
requires someone to maintain it, but with your generous work I think we
have that covered!
