I think this is the only way to properly handle it.  As Garrett pointed
out, some people in the USA actually do have a licence to use the "good"
version of RSA.

We could default if we wanted to:

    USA_RESIDENT=YES    ==>     CRYPTO_RSA=RSAref
    USA_RESIDENT=NO     ==>     CRYPTO_RSA=RSAintl

if CRYPTO_RSA was unset.
