Crypto++ 5.6.3 was released with some not-so-apparent some undefined 
behavior. The undefined behavior in this case was due to unaligned data 
access. The UB can be fixed by avoiding backwards compatibility with 5.6.2. 
Fixing it breaks release level versioning, so we let the user (or distro) 
make the choice.

You can read more at http://cryptopp.com/wiki/config.h and 
http://cryptopp.com/wiki/Release_Versioning . The short of it is, if you 
don't care about backwards compatibility and version compatibility, then:

    $ cp config.recommend config.h
