I'm considering removing the following features:
* des-compat.h and all its functions. This provides some level of compatiblity with libdes (and possibly also old versions of openssl/ssleay). I've not heard of anyone actually using this.
* rsa-compat.h and all its functions. Compatibility with RSAREF. I've never heard of anyone actually using this either.
* The nettle_next_prime function. No longer used internally in Nettle's key generation functions, and applications should use the corresponding GMP function instead.
Any objections? If you know of any use of these features, please speak up.
(In case a feature is removed and it later turns out to be a mistake, I'm open to reintroduce features in an update, but I believe there's little need to keep these around).
And any other cruft which should be removed while we're at it?
