Attention all Linux Mystic sysops who use cryptlib for SSH,

I've just managed to get 3.4.9.6 working with the newer ciphers - created a 
shim that translates session-attribute enum values (as Mystic has hardcoded 
them using the number lol).

If anyone wants to test, call my bbs via ssh on port 45022, and make sure that 
the "Allow AES128-CBC" is set to "No" - so you use the newer ciphers (thanks 
@Deuce for making SyncTERM the greatest!)

Mystic still sends data early, so the "Accept Early Data" needs to remain as 
"Yes" for the moment.

I made an installer too, so anyone who has Mystic v1.12 A49 (and maybe older 
versions) should be able to use my shim plus the latest version of cryptlib (as 
of today - newer will need an upgraded conversion table likely)

I think it could be useful for Mystic sysops - especially considering Mystic is 
now abandonware (or seemingly), having a more uptodate cryptlib and using newer 
ciphers keeps us safe and secure =)

.... Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
