Haha, well that what I get for just blabbing without checking my facts
properly. I guess nobody truly used libssh2 yet on one of them old and stupid
systems! =)

Ok, I retract my objection and as we already use snprintf() we can continue
using it and when someone wants libssh2 on a system which doesn't already
provide one, we can work on adding an internal one for those at that time.

Thanks Alexander!
