Description

skipstone depends on https://github.com/skiptools/skip/tree/main/Sources/SkipDrive in a bizarre way, by symlinking SkipDriveExternal to ../../skip/Sources/SkipDrive

Instead, there should be a skip-drive library containing the SkipDrive code; skip and skipstone should depend on it.

Research direction

Start by comparing Sources/SkipDriveExternal in skipstone with Sources/SkipDrive in the skip repository, then trace how skipstone currently obtains that directory through the symlink. Review the package dependency declarations for both skip and skipstone. Done means SkipDrive is provided by a standalone skip-drive library and both projects depend on it without the symlink.
