Amen!

If use of globals in OpenSSH could be minimized and existing globals
done away with or stuffed into a context structure and things like
fatal() replaced with forms that do longjmp() or so and the select()
loop changed so OpenSSH could fit into an external event loop, then
there could be a real libssh that allows a single process to have
multiple ssh connections. That's a lot of work, now.
