Hi Richard,

> The docs are outdated.  AES is strong.

That makes sense. In that case I could let users choose either MEDIUM
or "Strong" along with which Cipher group (RC4, 3DES, DES, AES).

Of course if they choose Medium and only AES, they would not have any
cipher in the result list, so I could hide AES as a selection when
Medium is selected. :)

A question: Would users see much performance difference between AES
128 bit and AES 256 bit ciphers on slower PC's, such as on PII and P3
class CPU's? What about CPU usage differences? I'm wondering if its
worth giving users detailed options on which ciphers to use, or to
stick with the simplistic nature of the MEDIUM and HIGH settings along
with the 4 groups.
