Not easily, you could edit keyset/pkcs15_adpr.c line 1051 to toggle the use of
the older version of pkcs15AddPrivateKey(), but it'd be much easier to just
update the other software that uses cryptlib to a current version.  However:

whoever Wing FTP Software is, if they're using cryptlib (there's no mention of
it on their site) then they're using it commercially without complying with
the terms of the Sleepycat license/GPL and making the source code available,
so it's really their problem to fix (along with complying with the license
terms).  Are you sure their software is using cryptlib?
