 1.8  11-Nov-2024  martin Add support for static linking of libzstd
 1.7  28-Jul-2019  joerg Explicitly link against libpthread and liblzma to make static linking
happy. Newer libarchive supports LZMA compression in zip files.

Remove MKCRYPTO option.

Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.

In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.

The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.

My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.

As proposed on tech-crypto, tech-security, and tech-userlevel to no
objections:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2017/05/06/msg010547.html

P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.
 1.5  22-Apr-2017  pgoyette Add crypto stuff on top of what we already have, rather than replacing!
 1.4  21-Apr-2017  christos fix conditional
 1.3  21-Apr-2017  christos new libarchive need crypto.
 1.2  18-Aug-2011  christos branches: 1.2.24;
revert 4 digit year printing and add -y option to print 4 digit years.
 1.1  25-Jun-2009  joerg Add work-in-progress unzip(1) frontend for libarchive.
Derived from FreeBSD's unzip.
 1.2.24.1  26-Apr-2017  pgoyette Sync with HEAD
 1.6.10.1  13-Apr-2020  martin Mostly merge changes from HEAD upto 20200411
