I think there was a reason for not having ss-functions in libsl, but I
don't remember why. Not having dependencies, I think, is because of
brokenness in old libtool. I has since been fixed, so we should add
those.

Yes, always building the `latest' version is much easier than figuring
out which version is installed, and which bugs it had that we need to
work around. We should try to fix this for Heimdal though.
