It claims to be using rc4 with 128 bits.  I just can't discover where
the other bits are coming from.

But, at least our driver works as it is supposed to, from what I can
tell.

Linux's only lets you enter 26 hex digits (they count the 0x part as
characters!), Free/OpenBSD's man page says 32 characters for gold, but
the program says 28.  Windows only lets you set at most 40 bits.

Gotta love quality code.
