I am not forcing anybody to work on this. The time I spent on writing
the patch was sponsored by my employer, so it was not a big waste really.

We are trying to introduce an easy way to test new releases of libssh2
independently of the libraries and applications that use it. Running the
set of examples distributed with libssh2 seemed like a reasonable step to
start with.

To improve the test coverage, I asked Karel Srot to write some tests checking
whether the contents of the transferred files matches the original contents.
Obviously, this is something hard to check as long as the output of the
examples is interleaved with verbose messages.
