[X2Go-Dev] libssh in Windows X2Go Client

[Oleksandr Shneyder]

Ok, I see. We don't need to rush, but we should think about upgrade of
libssh one time. I think it's quite important to get rid of this
annoying issue, when the X2Go Client crashes because of some bug in the
libssh. I'll see the customer in 3 weeks again and will let you know how
tests are going. Than we can talk about it again.

regards
Alex
