It's fairly high up my todo list as the hundreds of warnings
completely drown out any real problems with unrelated code. That
said, also on my libssh2 todo list is the CMake build work, a new
Boost.Test-based test suite against a real server and getting
continuous integration set up with Travis CI. So, if anyone else
wants to take this one on, don't be shy.
