For now I'm actually in favor of making it optional and even defaulting it
to off. The important thing is that when somebody goes to do a release
build (like me), they can do some UTSL'ing and twiddle a makefile and
keep going, instead of being faced with re-inventing a not necessarily
compatible wheel.

Unfortunately I think we will. Crypto policy isn't relaxed enough yet;
3rd party vendors need the secr binaries separated out just like they
need the GNU sources separated out.

Fortunately I have a fairly reasonable method for building domestic that
I developed for 1.4.2, so I will try to make some time to properly write
that up and post it.
