I'd rather have a magic alg name that does this. It's less code, a lot
less code. We don't need no stinking generality here :) given that we
weren't given it to begin with :)
BTW, I would love to use the reserved field of KEXINIT to negotiate
retriable key exchagne (a big deal for gss keyex).
Sent to soon. I meant to add that your scheme isn't general enough to
give us retriable kexinit...
