[Editor's note: unless you have special demands, use the appropriate deps package from <http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/>.]
SSH2 for Windows is not available from the authors of the extension. But compiled binaries are available from the Apache Lounge (which is recommended by the php.net website too).
Link for PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0:
https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6359
This binaries contain a lot (maybe even all?) for Windows compiled PHP extensions, like the SSH2 extension.
Please note that it is also highly recommended to use their Windows binary builds for the Apache HTTP server from here: https://www.apachelounge.com/download/
Older versions can be choosen from the left menu (VC11, VC10, etc.) if required.
php.net also recommends to use the binary builds from the Apache Lounge.
Maybe this helps developers, who work with Windows and can't find or compile some extensions themself.

Since version 0.12 (released 2012-10-15) there is a binary version for Windows.
See here: http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2/0.12/windows
I tested it with PHP 5.5.29 (32-bit, thread-safe) on my Windows 7 machine.

on linux debian like (ubuntu) a simple install will also load 'libssh2-1'
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php-ssh2
$ sudo apache2ctl graceful
should make it usable
use phpinfo() function, some sections are now showing additional "ssh2" parts:
- Intro section with new items for "ssh2"
- - Additional .ini files parsed
- - Registered PHP Streams
- ssh2 (new section)
- - showing "SSH2 support - enabled"

Using PECL it must be specified the channel, since the beta version has to be choosen instead of stable one:
$ pecl install ssh2 channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-version

To help someone avoid the headaches I did for a week. SSH2 functions have problems with the ssh2-beta & libssh2-0.18 even after patching with said patches on the internet.
ssh_exec will work fine
ssh2_shell will not work
In order to use ssh2_shell I had to roll back to libssh2-0.14 in order to get ssh2_shell function to work properly

Installing this module for use with CentOS 5.?? or 6.?
1. Install your favorite PHP RPM packages. Make sure that one of your favorite packages is pear, so pecl gets installed in-tow.
2. Find and install *RPMS* of libssh2 of a version >= 1.2, get both the base lib package (libssh2-1.2.*.rpm) and the devel package that includes headers (libssh2-devel-1.2.*.rpm) of the EXACT SAME VERSION. Finding these packages took a few minutes of googling, and I invite an editor that has a trusted source for these to attach URLs as appropriate. (Yes, the version below is ancient)
# rpm -ivh libssh2-1.2.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm libssh2-devel-1.2.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
3. Install the PHP module via pecl
# pecl install ssh2-0.12
4. Make PHP see the newly-installed extension
# echo "extension=ssh2.so" > /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
5. Restart apache

Just a little note: when compiling this package after modifying the ssh2.c, do not use pecl build as it will not create an ssh2.so file (although it says it succeeded), use:
phpize
./configure --with-ssh2
make
you then need to copy the ssh2.so file into your extension dir if it didn't do so already.
