Yeah.  Even so, lots of software still expects it to be present and
won't link without it.  I hope no one is actually using it, or running
with a cipher configuration that would permit it to be used.

Cleaning all reliance on MD2 out of the ports and base would make a very
good project for a bunch of people, and pushing those changes upstream
would certainly help make the internet a better place.  Probably should
start with an experimental run on a tinderbox somewhere trying to build
all ports that are OpenSSL consumers against security/openssl with MD2
turned off.

	Cheers,
