I should also note that, by default, Nmap doesn't compile against a

without MD2 support by default. (hence the ./config enable-md2 line
above).

I see the Macports people have dealt with it by removing MD2 from
Nmap:

    patch:
https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/25593/nse_openssl.cc.diff
ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25593

Seems like MD2 support should either be dropped from Nmap, offered
as a config option, or an implementation should be shipped with
Nmap itself, otherwise users would need to recompile OpenSSL-1.x.x

I'm fine with ripping out support for MD2. That's part of Vlatko's
Android patch too. Does anyone have a reason to keep it? If it's not
in OpenSSL, it's not going to be in a lot of software for very long.

Several months ago I tried and failed to find an SSL cert still signed
with MD2 in the wild.

Lets ax it.
