Skels are not BDB-specific (and yes, I realize that you know this, and
what you meant when you said the opposite). They could be used by any
backend that so desires. In fact, they could be used by a different
BDB implementation if someone is interested in going that route (say,
the SVN 2.0 schema).

The point is that if there is utility code that could be useful to
various backends, it can go to the utility library.

Doh! I was thinking of svn_fs_parse_id(). Sorry about that. But I
suppose we keep that public for completeness' sake.
