Which OpenBSD has done -- so why was it so easy for them?  They have the
*same* rules to live by that we have -- even though they are Canadian,
the rsaref libs came from USA, thus they cannot be exported from Canada.

from the issue and look to see if we took a wrong turn in the way we've
set things up.
