I would like to point out that currently you already need to define OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY to use the old des library interface. You've been warned that it'll get removed since end of 2002, so about 3 years now. It's actually not that hard to convert to the new interface. Anyway, I would be happy that the default doesn't include it anymore.
