Yes, the problem is that this cipher has been removed from Crypto++ (it
was in Version 4.2, but we have 5.1 now). One could of course create a

Oh, sorry, forgot to test it with gcc 3.x. Seems quite a lot of work to
port that (I will add a comment to my PR)

I think those two are good candidates for removal.
