libssh 0.4.1

This is a new minor libssh release which fixes some bugs we found since the last release. This version fixes some bugs discovered with KDE SC 4.4.

This version of libssh has official Windows support. The KDE Windows team ensures that the library is correctly working with MinGW and MSVC. Thanks for this!
