I notice that the IDEA code in OpenSSL is in the Attic and not in
the regular source tree. I know that OpenSSL is compiled with
something like -DNO_IDEA by default, but that doesn't mean IDEA
shouldn't be in the source tree for people who can use it. Would
it be possible to get idea reinstated and make it's compilation
a documented knob?

(According to Applied Cryptography, IDEA is free for non-comercial
use. As the source code is being distributed via cvs anyway, I
can't see a reason why it isn't being included in any of the
branches.)

	David.
