That would be fantastic. :-)

I suppose one factor for choosing EXTRA_CIPHERS=n as default 
is to keep the same defaults as for previous and current versions?
I'm only wondering because (if I had to guess), I would think that
people who like the ciphers built and installed probably outnumber
those who don't want/need them by default.

In any case: This sounds great. Should there be any work I can
contribute, please let me know.

cheers,
Max
