Russia and France both are highly crypto-unfriendly, in that you
are not allowed to use any crypto whatsoever unless it has been
explicitly approved by the government.
Since their lists of what's been "approved" (read: cracked) by
the government may differ, we're starting to get into some issues
here where I think a "CRYPTO_COUNTRY" variable would make a lot of
sense, and then we could derive appropriate "RSA" and "USA_RESIDENT"
variables from them.

Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
Unix is very user-friendly. It's just picky who its friends are.
