Description:
------------
ssh2-0.10

When I try to install via PEAR, or if I try to compile it into php as a static extension I get an error about not having libssh2 0.4 or above even though libssh2 0.14 is installed. 

Per recommendation of http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.ssh2.php#68806 I removed the -ldl flag from the config.m4 file in the extension and it compiled fine through pear. To compile it as a static extension into php I had to remove the same flag from configure. I am not familiar enough with how configure is built to know why it was not removed even after I performed `rm configure` and `./buildconf --force`.

After removal of this flag, everything seems to work fine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-trans-sid \
--with-curl=/usr/local \
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds \
--enable-ftp \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-pspell \
--with-xdiff \
--with-zlib \
--with-openssl \
--enable-soap \
--with-ssh2

Expected result:
----------------
Php should have configured correctly

Actual result:
--------------
checking for libssh2_banner_set in -lssh2... no
configure: error: libssh2 version >= 0.4 not found

I created the following patch for config.m4 that should solve compilation issues on systems without libdl:

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed
in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at
http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2

This was actually already fixed in CVS when you reported it -- looks like the libdl dependency wasn't needed at all.
