One argument for AES is that it can be hardware-accelerated on amd64
and some ARM machines, which as far I know it isn't currently, at least
not when using sys/crypto/aes.h like I did in my diff. But I also don't
know whether to use hardware-accelerated AES doesn't bring in new 
problems like it being less portable.
