Hard to say. There are a couple of different versions of s/key,
and thus a couple of different versions of libskey.a.

Across different versions, some of the functions that returned 0 now
return 1, and vice versa. As a result, the code might fail in
drastically bizarre fashions if the "wrong" version is used. That's
why I want to restrict what I have to the "netbsd libskey".
