There isn't and there isn't likely to ever be one, IMHO. libcurl is for
"transfers" and its API is designed and targeted for that. Adding extra stuff
to issue SSH commands and everything that would entail and require to offer a
decent API, I think would mean going outside of what our "mission" is about.
The SSH libraries otoh, are explicitly made to facilitate such features...
