	where was the original post made? (URL to mail-index.netbsd.org
	please?) anyway, don't include IDEA and RC5 in /usr/lib/libcrypto.a or
	any other base distributions, they have IPR issues.  we have partial
	workaround for them (src/lib/libcrypto_{idea,rc5}).  if it is about
	packages, i'm not too sure about the current situation.
