Thanks for replies, Andreas and Steffen!

Alas, I did not get far. Static libraries for ntcard and twopaco are
easy to add (I have pushed 'static-library' branches to salsa for these
packages). However, pufferfish has patched main() functions of ntcard
and twopaco executables in order to use them in internal calls.

At this point I do not think much can be done without getting the
upstreams of pufferfish, ntcard and twopaco to align their interfaces.

Best,
Andrius
