 According to my experience (I have used OpenSSH as a part of a proprietary
 product), the binary interface of libssh has been changed frequently,
 because it is intended for internal use.  (to begin with, the range of
 its external interface is vague.)  Thus, we will need major bump on almost
 importing of OpenSSH, or stop making it shared library.
