openssh unix dev - Mar 2001 - Release with BIGENDIANAES compat option?

Hello all,

Very recently, djm added compability patch so that aes/rijndael encryption
problems could be avoided when talking to broken server/client; and you
wouldn't have to toggle off the protocols yourself.

Might this be a candidate for 2.5.2p2 or the like?  This would be helpful
when there are a lot of broken, 2.3.0 and like, systems.

It would have to be 2.5.2p3  since p2 was already realeased.  I believe
we were holding off to ensure any other issues were resolved before
releasing a p3.
