This shows up a large problem.  Would the apr_crypto_* advocates please
update README to comply with the ASF crypto policy (notably, bullet 4)
per http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html ?  As we prepare to release
either apr-util-1.4(5?) or apr-2.0, we will be filing a TSU exception
notice, which Jeff or I can deal with.
