Good idea, this is easy for me to do so I added some libssh2 rules to my
makefile:

http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/Makefile

And fortunately libssh2 v1.0 built fine under mingw, so here are the
packages:

http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/libssh2-1.0.zip
http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/mingw32-libssh2_1.0-1_all.deb

It includes libgpg-error v1.7, libgcrypt v1.4.4, and libssh2 v1.0.

The instructions for using the DLL's etc for GnuTLS should apply equally
to the libssh2 DLL's, I suppose:

http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/

A small sample command-line tool in libssh2 would be useful, to allow
easy testing of the library after unpacking the ZIP on a Windows
machine.
