| US sites mirror their crypto from freebsd.org, international ones from the

| australia next week :-) the two will have to be divergent due to the
| patent restrictions on RSA.

The RSA patent makes things a lot more difficult.  If we do add some crypto
into the kernel I suggest we use patent-free algorithms to start with.
