Uh..  Perhaps there's some confusion (on my part, most likely).  I
thought he was talking about the *dual* encryption feature whereby MD5
and DES keys would be recognised and proplerly decrypted even if they
were mixed together in the same password file.  That didn't come until
post-2.1.

Yes, it's perfectly possible to make the choice between one or the
other and just run one - that's worked for awhile now.
