I haven't figured out yet how to build libssh2, and I don't need it at
the moment.
Out of curiosity, I run some tests of SFTP using curl binaries by
Viktor Szakats [1] and some ancient CopSSH server. Uploads to
localhost were capped at ~300 KB/s. WinSCP was able to upload to the
same server at a rate of 4MB/s, maxing out one entire CPU in the
process (server used about 15% of another one), so Curl seems a little
unimpressive here.
On linux Curl uploaded to localhost (OpenSSH + sftp) at a rate of 15
MB/s, using 60% of a single CPU (server used ~30% of another one).
Tried both libssh and libssh2, didn't notice a difference. This result
is much better, but there may still be some room for improvement.

Daniel
