Previously, with libssh2 1.0, it was possible to build phyp but not qemu+libssh:///; with this change, building phyp now requires libssh2 1.3. Then again, RHEL 5 only ships with libssh2-0.18, so we already have platforms where we can't even support phyp. Furthermore, we haven't had a very active phyp maintainer (most phyp patches in the past year have been global maintenance cleanups, not actual development), so if this situation actually impacts someone, maybe it will convince them to speak up. In the meantime, trying to maintain libssh2 1.0 for phyp but not for the rest of the code base is too prone to bitrot issues. I've convinced myself - if phyp development were more active, then it might be up for debate; but given the current situation, the change is worthwhile as-is.
