I agree to a degree. src/crypto/external should never have happened. Crypto regulations no longer different enough from general license considerations to justify that. ipf is also a good example of how to not do it. Keep all the source in one place (src/sys/external in this case) and just put the reach-over build system in src/external. Joerg
