That works for me. I noticed though that if you use
--with-security-key-builtin and it can't find the library to actually
use the builtin it's not treated as an error. Perhaps it should be
given the explicit indication that it's expected?

I've also updated the pull request on github that switches it from a
number to mnemonic flags to apply cleanly to the current master and
update the ssh-keygen manpage. I can also send it though another
medium instead of github if that's preferred?
