Hi all,

Because of copyright issues OpenSSL is being built with -DNO_IDEA. IMHO
it's bad to do this for all systems, as it's only limited in some
countries.

What I'm wondering if we could do is to add a COUNTRY=whatever, which
could be used to look up a value in a file which could provide information
about patent issues for algorithms like IDEA, as well as be a nice index
to which ftp server to use by default.

Another thing to consider is adding a COMMERCIAL=[yes|no], which could
also help sorting out patent issues.

Just some thoughts...
