Sorry, but I'm not following.

I see two different ways to do the API

1) We have libssh2_channel_set_blocking() and it controls *ALL* functions to
    do blocking or non-blocking. This didn't work before, and I didn't take
    this route when I started to add *nb() functions.

2) We have a set of *nb() functions for non-blocking operations. Why the need
    for libssh2_channel_set_blocking() then?

Are you saying you want libssh2_channel_set_blocking() to remain since we
don't yet have all the *nb() functions we want and that the function actually
make some of the non-*nb() functions non-blocking?
