Summary: Support for multiple KEYSTATs in Skills

Initial Comment:
In Spycraft the Intimidate skill and the Sport skill can use one of 
two stats for the key stat depending on the situation.

I've been told that there is support for multiple KEYSTAT by using 
the tag like this: KEYSTAT:(DEX)MAX(STR). This does not work in 
5.7.2 however, also it does not quite meet the Spycraft rules. 
Which stat is used is situational to be desided by the GM.

Idealy the OS should show both so if the LST had this:

KEYSTAT:STR|DEX    which would output on the sheet like:

Sport (Bowling)    STR/DEX     +4/+1

We now have some options we did not have when this tracker was 
opened. We can now have hidden skills so it is possible to have a master 
skill visible only in the GUI which passes it's value to 2 output skills (one 
for each key stat used) which are displayed on the OS. This is how 
Intimidate in Spycraft has been implemented.

I don't know if this method helps Michael with the Traveller skills.

Traveller T20 uses multiple stats for skills also but uses
higher of two.

ex, Forgery uses the better of INT or DEX. 

So this applies to more than one gamemode. I'll try the
(x)MAX(x) and see if it works in 5.7.5 (or 6 if it's out by
the time I get to it).
