Didn't dare to ask this as I have no idea how relevant the algorithm

I suppose, from a distro POV, being able to provide it as add-on in a

depending on their constraints and needs. But I don't see libcrypto
being structured like that already.

Thanks for the link. Ideally, the community finds a common pattern for
handling this topic, both for completely free software as well as
commercial integration scenarios.
