In our smallest java-client, which is used on cellphones etc, the actual
AES-code makes up between 1% and 0.5% depending on how you count. The
DES and 3DES-code is about twice that big.

IMHO it is pretty widespread, at least among modern versions.
Unfortunately, as well all know, the installed base may be far behind.
For exampel we still get a lot of questions on SSHv1 support:-(
