Summary: Win32, static lib (using MinGW in MSYS shell)

Initial Comment:
Hi,
I've just built a static libssh2-1.0 for native Win32 in the MSYS shell using 
the MinGW port of gcc-3.4.5. There were a couple of hoops to jump through:

In the configure script, I changed:

case "$host" in
    *-mingw*)
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DLIBSSH2_WIN32 -DWINSOCK_VERSION=0x0200"
    LIBS="$LIBS -lws2_32"
    ;;

to:

case "$host" in
    *-mingw*)
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DWINSOCK_VERSION=0x0200"
    LIBS="$LIBS -lws2_32 -lgdi32"
    ;;

That's just 2 changes; remove the -DLIBSSH2_WIN32 symbol, and add the link to 
libgdi32.a.

The removal of the -DLIBSSH2_WIN32 symbol may not be the correct thing to do if 
a dynamic lib is being built. (I couldn't build a dynamic lib.) 

If LIBSSH2_WIN32 is defined, the example/simple executables apparently expect 
to link to a dynamic library, so fail to build, and 'make' dies.

In libssh2_priv.h I also changed the 'usleep' to '__usleep' to avoid a clash 
with the usleep function already defined in unistd.h. This (libssh2) function 
doesn't appear to be used anywhere, so I could possibly have just commented it 
out.

Thanks for the library !!

Cheers,
Rob
