Um, yes.  Nope, that's not "kerberos 5".  It's probably a perfectly
good underlying set of cryptographic primitives.  The AES code there
presumably doesn't do ciphertext stealing, but that's a relatively
simple elaboration on cbc, which it does provide.

Sounds like documentation could be an issue.  I hate to ask, but I
suppose I should -- are these actually "supported" interfaces despite
the lack of documentation?
