Yeah, I thought about that, but kind of preferred the other way around
to avoid the LIBSSH2_SESSION dependency. But I guess the library is
already too deeply married into the LIBSSH2_SESSION parameter anyway
that it doesn't make any sense to try and avoid it here. I can prepare
an updated patch tomorrow..
