-    o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER
-      structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but
-      for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to
-      use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff
-      is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just
-      an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open
-      don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors
-      use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
-      RC2 to adapt).

-    o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
-      there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
-      or similar.
