CFLAGS is empty on my Ubuntu 13 desktop. What does seem to work is
running 'pkg-config libssh2 --libs' and scan for '-lgcrypt' / '-lcrypto'.

It's needed to set up the crypto library for multithreaded use. One
needs to set the proper call-back routines in libcrypto and libgcrypt,
or crashes will occur.
Is it libssh2's job to set up libcrypto/libgcrypt? libssh2 -could- do
so, but doing so could clash with other uses of the same crypto lib by
the program, so it'd have to be optional. Also, multithreading init code
requires a dependency on libpthread (and/or other threading libraries)
to be able to create the required mutexes etc.
