It's wrong, though. If a server rejects a client connection because the server 
only supports RC4 and the client doesn't, the correct error for the server to 
return is "insufficient_security". If you invert the meaning, I guess the 
server has insufficient security, but it's not the same.

If we're ok with a complete change, then I'll just go with the "unsupported_X" 
format as there's already an "unsupported_certificate" and 
"unsupported_extension".

I'll stick a commit for this into my ever growing PR #201 in a bit.
