Hmm, true. Basicly the changes should affect only those functions that
deal with reading/writing data, for example, libssh2_sftp_read. If the
user finds out the size of a file and then gives the size and
corresponding buffer to libssh2_sftp_read -function, the function could
transparently get all the data for the user. This approach would
simulate the OpenSSH sftp's 'get' operation.
The function could decide whether to use async or sync transfer based on
the buffer size.
