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.

Hi, Various places in the source say that old des support is going to be removed before 1.0. I think it's time to move forward. What if others don't? I think we have 2 options: - Completly drop the old des support, including des_old.h - Drop the libdes compatibility, so that it's only compatible with older openssl versions, and people can still use the des_* versions. How about option 3 - change the default to not include it but leave the code still in there, then see how many people squawk about old des support missing and get told to set the flag to include it, then make a decision about stripping it out completely, based on that.
