Comment:

 (In [475223945bc39fa8d35f30060dd5cfda787d82d5]):[[BR]]
 Enable a number of default-disabled strong ciphers for NSS.

 For some reason the NSS default US Domestic policy does not enable a
 number of strong ciphers which are entirely reasonable, and in fact
 may be preferred.  (E.g. those using SHA over MD5.)

 This patch enables all available AES, 3DES, and RC4 ciphers which are
 not enabled by default.

 Thanks to Marcus Trautwig for this.

 Fixes #1435
