While I agree that adding support for libgcrypt would be nice, I'd
really prefer that it didn't replace the existing OpenSSL dependency.
I use libssh2 in a Mac OS X environment, where OpenSSL comes already
installed. The GNU version would be another dependency I'd have to
build and ship with my app. The fact that it's LGPL will also require
bundling a dynamic library, whereas libssh2 can currently be static-
linked.

Perhaps a generic crypto interface is in order, so we could choose
the library at compile time?
