This has nothing todo with libssh. uwrap_init() is called by each libc 
function we implement in the wrapper, e.g. setuid(), seteuid() ...

You can also use library contructors for that, but the question is if it is 
supported on all platforms. So we do not rely on the constructor ...


We use a constructor to init threading support to setup pthread_atfork(). The 
destructor cleans up memory.
