But I'm not considering deleting des support (the things declared in
des.h), only the libdes/openssl compatibility glue in des-compat.h.

Ah, and there's also md5-compat.*, for api-compatibility with the
RFC1321 reference implementation. This seems to be used by a few debian
packages (radcli, chiark-utils, viking), see
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=md5-compat.h, so I think we
should keep it around; it's very simple and testing is better than for
des-compat.h.
