Err, why?  If you don't want to use it you can turn it off in the
config.

Created attachment 2579
  --> https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=2579&action=edit
Implements -DWITHOUT_ED25519

The patch makes it possible to build OpenSSH without Curve25519 by
specifying -DWITHOUT_EC25519.

The patch doesn't modify regression tests nor man pages.

For legal reasons we are not allowed to ship OpenSSH with any elliptic
curve cryptography.

We won't be adding this. We have too many #ifdefs at the moment, and as
far as we are aware there are no patent encumbrances on ed25519.
