  | And I still don't think it should be classified as crypto.

itojun seems to have fixed that.

But what really should be done, is the bignum routines should be
moved out of the crypto libraries - they're just arithmetic
(used more in crypto than other places, but that's irrelevant).

An alternative with less merit (well, one which maybe should be
done anyway) would be to get rid of MKCRYPTO as an option, and
simply build all that stuff all the time - then the bignum routines
would always be available, if in an obscure place for some apps.

Is there some rational reason for keeping MKCRYPTO as an option
any more?   Does anyone actually turn it off?   Why?
