1.3.0 stable.

But is there a chance to change the default 16K buffer to different value? Didn't found it straight away in the libcurl source.
I just wan't to play with the buffer size to see how's the improvement and then decide to keep or through out sftp support in my software (for now :) ).
Or can i somehow hack/change the buffersize in libcurls sftp.c?
