I beg to differ. The code is indeed portable but since we have very few people
interested and involved with most of the platforms you refer to, they are
rarely tested and bugs are to be expected.

suite situation!

While you're of course free to do whatever you want, I would be very
interested to hear from you where you're going to find more portable and
better code for a library that does SSH.

Perhaps a more productive way forward is to continue helping us improving what
we have?
