Unmaintained, no update since import in 2001, BSD/mac ports are the only

A few others have https://www.aescrypt.com/ 3.x in their tree, but I'm
not sure if that's the same tool (originally).
I'm not a crypto person, but a tool this old and limited does not seem
like an appropiate choice today.
There's a plethora of up-to-date and well maintained tools out there to
encrypt stuff these days.
OK to remove?

encrypt/decrypt using Rijndael encryption algorithm
Description:
Encrypt/decrypt stdin using the Advanced Encryption Standard winner
"Rijndael" encryption algorithm in Cipher Block Feedback (stream)
mode. Uses /dev/urandom to create a salt. Prepends the output stream
with salt when encrypting, strips it off when decrypting.
