Let's hope it doesn't make the libssh2 code too ugly... In other
projects I use gnulib to provide replacement functions for broken
systems, so the core code remains nice and clean, but libssh2's BSD
license makes it difficult to use here. Still, if we need something
like that, maybe we can adapt a similar approach, if possible.
