	the following twist have been removed by the RSA expiration, and
	recently deregulated :
	- non-commercials in US can use RSAREF
	- commercials in US cannot use RSA at all
	- non-US people should use non-RSAREF RSA source code

	there still are other problems with crypto software:
	- export/import regulation in non-US countries
	- other patented algorithms, like IDEA/RC4/RC5
	if we take the safer side, we should change almost nothing but
	RSAREF/non-RSAREF issue.
