That's removed the release number from the library filename and disabled the 
static library.

The main user of these libraries is not intended to be my utilities; the main 
user is meant to be things like mount, PAM modules, NFS4, encrypted 
filesystems. Some of these things may require static tools to be installed to 
make a key available for an in-kernel filesystem or other service available, 
so that you can mend your system when it's broken.

It's possible that I *should* include a static version of keyctl and make 
request-key statically linked, but I'll defer that decision for now.
