I agree, they seem a very reasonable choice.

Yeps. I think the most annoying part will be that this is gonna be tricky to
get going in a non-blocking way (doing things non-blocking has turned out to
be my "thing" in both libssh2 land as well as in libcurl).

I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of difference to us anyway...

libssh2 should be straight-forward to build, especially if you get a recent
daily snapshot/CVS (which you should, the latest public release is fairly old
by now). There are also several people involved in both libcurl and libssh2 so
if you stumble upon any problems with either lib or with the combination, we
should be able to fix them all.
