>Description:
wg-keygen(8) is currently linked against libssh just for access to its crypto_scalarmult_curve25519 routine.
Although this was expedient, we really shouldn't have things other than openssh executables linked against libssh.
>How-To-Repeat:
contemplate updating libssh via openssh update and observe there are non-openssh things that pull it in for some reason
>Fix:
Some other options:
1. copy & paste some X25519 keygen logic into wg-keygen itself,
2. reach over into the kernel libsodium in sys/external/isc/libsodium,
3. rewrite it with openssl (kind of a pain to use but should be stable once done).
