libraries in /lib, and the sysdeps in /usr/lib/skalibs/sysdeps.
+ Please note that static libraries in /usr/lib/skalibs *will not*
+be found by a default linker invocation: you need -L/usr/lib/skalibs.
+Other skarnet.org software automatically handles that case if the
+default configuration is used, but if you change the configuration,
