Comment (by Eschaton):
I've looked at this and it appears it would be pretty straightforward to
do with only three additional callbacks modeled after the recv/send
callbacks:
- A get_blocking callback to get the current blocking state of the socket
in the couple places it's checked
- A set_blocking callback to set the current blocking state of the socket
in the couple places it's adjusted
- A poll callback to be used by _libssh2_wait_socket() and possibly the
deprecated libssh2_poll()
With only those three callbacks, it should be possible to layer libssh2
atop an arbitrary transport rather than specifically atop Berkeley
sockets.
