These five patches enable libssh2 to be cross-compiled from a Fedora
Linux system to Windows using Fedora's new MinGW cross-compiler:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW
After applying these patches, you can cross-compile from a Fedora
system using:
autoreconf
mingw32-configure --enable-shared
make
and you will end up with libssh2-1.dll and assorted Windows
executables in the example/simple directory, which you can test using
Wine or Windows.
I tested the example programs using Wine and an OpenSSH sshd and they
appeared to work fine.

New subject: [PATCH 1/5] libssh2: get libtool to build a Windows shared library
Need to add 'AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL' _before_ 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to
persuade libtool that it is safe to build a Windows DLL.

New subject: [PATCH 2/5] libssh2: headers and implementation of iovec/writev for Windows
Currently Windows builds use a separate header file in the win32
subdirectory. This patch pulls the important bits out of that header
file into the main "libssh2_priv.h" header file. The extras here are
to check for and use the windows headers, and the implementation of
iovec/writev.
Of course they are defended by #ifdef WIN32 ... #endif so that this
still works on Linux.

New subject: [PATCH 3/5] libssh2: Remove the unnecessary extra example/simple/config.h file
The example/simple/config.h{,in} header file isn't needed, it
duplicates what is already in libssh2_config.h, it breaks autoheader,
and it isn't rebuilt correctly when configure.ac changes. This patch
removes the file completely.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.

New subject: [PATCH 4/5] libssh2: implement non-blocking sockets for Windows in the examples
This patch implements non-blocking sockets for Windows in the example
programs, meaning they can now be compiled under Windows.

New subject: [PATCH 5/5] libssh2: Remove WINSOCK_VERSION macro
The WINSOCK_VERSION macro is defined centrally and passed to all
instances of WSAStartup. However for the example programs the version
of winsock declared isn't very important (as long as it's >= 2.0) and
it's not likely you'd ever want to change it.
Because this complicates cross-compiling vs. building straight up in
Visual Studio, I just removed this unnecessary macro.

Thanks a lot for this patch set! I've been wanting to get this done for quite
some time...
I applied all parts that were successfully merged, and there was only one part
that wasn't clear to me at a quick glance how I should edit it so the changes
to "win32/libssh2_config.h" were not committed.
Can you please give the current CVS a check and see how that patch is to be
applied?
