First off, I never saw the reply from ViSolve to my bug report, but I
just found it at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22184.html

This bug should be marked as a documentation bug because the
ciphers.1ssl man page reads:

======================================================

       EXP, EXPORT
           export encryption algorithms. Including 40 and 56 bits
algorithms.

       EXPORT40
           40 bit export encryption algorithms

       EXPORT56
           56 bit export encryption algorithms.

======================================================

Since there are no 56 bit ciphers any more, EXPORT56 is no longer valid
and should be removed from the man page.

well, strictly speaking is 'EXPORT56' still a valid cipher string,
but it will return an empty list of ciphers (unless if openssl is
build with TLS1_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_CIPHERSUITES != 0) ;-)
However a warning / note that no 'EXPORT56' ciphers are available
per default might be useful.

Cheers,
Nils
