And it looks like all is good, because http://www.libssh2.org/wiki/
index.php/Callbacks . I just pass in the correct functions and they
will be used. I would need to write wrapper functions for
curl_domalloc() since libssh2 doesn't pass in the 2 extra parameters,
but it would be a step in the right direction.
