I don't object in general, although your list seems to contain some
flaws. For example, arctwo and arcfour are marked as 'LGPLv2+' in the
modules file, which as far as I understand would mean that they would
not be included in your update, but still you include it:
> lib/arcfour.c
> lib/arcfour.h
> lib/arctwo.c
> lib/arctwo.h
I didn't look further in the list, since I assume there is some
systematic flaw in the algorithm that produce the list. If you prepare
a new list I'll look through it to make sure none of the LGPLv2+'d
modules that my LGPLv2+'d GNU projects need.
