Not really (the way I think you mean).

Without modifying libssh2, you can switch to using it in a non-blocking manner
as then you can do the time-out logic yourself in your app.

But if you want to use the blocking API we need to introduce a way to set a
timeout somehow, and then make the blocking layer understand and use that
timeout. It shouldn't be that hard or complicated, but someone needs to step
up and start working on it then...
