freenetlib.py's successor, Freenet-Python (analogous to PyGtk and
PyGnome) did support KSKs only in an old scrapped version and a
fullfledged freenetlib.py style version with full Freenet 0.3.x
support is being worked on right now. nfreenetd has been temporarily
shelved, but I plan on restarting it after Freenet-Python is fully up
to Freenet 0.3.x or Freenet 0.4.x.

This might just work. If it does, we can ruin MediaEnforcer (if we
want to go to the amount of effort necessary to force a victory rather
than just settle the case out of court).
