Sorry about the new thread, I was subscribed to the "nomail" version of the mailing list without realizing it so I couldn't figure out a way to respond to the previous response. I'm responding to Andreas below:

Right, so there is no way to do this with libssh currently without patching it? Best, Mitchell
