Kim,
You can modify the do_masm.bat file in the ms\ directory. You need to
tell the perl script util\mk1mf.pl which cryptogrpahy to eliminate. Here is
a fragment that could be in do_masm.bat showing one way to do it.
SET SKIPS=no-rc5 no-bf no-cast no-idea no-ripemd no-dh no-dsa
perl util\mk1mf.pl %SKIPS% VC-WIN32 >ms\nt.mak
Look through the perl script and maybe a few other places to see what no-***
options are supported. Please post the results to the list. I think it is of
general interest.
Good luck,
