options: Complete the transition to numeric toggles (`#if')
For the sake of review, this commit alters only the code; the affiliated
comments within the source files also need to be updated, but doing so
now would obscure the operational changes that have been made here.
* All on/off options have been switched to the numeric `#if' variant;
that is the only way to make this `default_options.h.in' thing work
in a reasonable manner.
* There is now some very minor compile-time checking of the user's
choice of options.
* NO_FAST_EXPTMOD doesn't seem to be used, so it has been removed.
* ENABLE_USER_ALGO_LIST was supposed to be renamed DROPBEAR_USER_ALGO_LIST,
and this commit completes that work.
* DROPBEAR_FUZZ seems to be a relatively new, as-yet undocumented option,
which was added by the following commit:
commit 6e0b539e9ca0b5628c6c5a3d118ad6a2e79e8039

split out checkpubkey_line() separately
It has now been added to `sysoptions.h' and defined as `0' by default.
* The configuration option `DROPBEAR_PASSWORD_ENV' is no longer listed in
`default_options.h.in'; it is no longer meant to be set by the user, and
is instead left to be defined in `sysoptions.h' (where it was already being
defined) as merely the name of the environment variable in question:
DROPBEAR_PASSWORD
To enable or disable use of that environment variable, the user must now
toggle `DROPBEAR_USE_DROPBEAR_PASSWORD'.
* The sFTP support is now toggled by setting `DROPBEAR_SFTPSERVER', and the
path of the sFTP server program is set independently through the usual
SFTPSERVER_PATH.

Tech Note 0005 Minimizing Code Space Tom St Denis Introduction ------------ Tweaking... You can disable whole classes of algorithms on the command line with the LTC_NO_* defines. From there you can manually turn on what you want to enable. The following build with GCC 3.4.4 on an AMD64 box gets you AES, CTR mode, SHA-256, HMAC, Yarrow, full RSA PKCS #1, PKCS #5 and ASN.1 DER in roughly 40KB of code (49KB on the ARMv4) (both excluding the math library). CFLAGS="-DLTC_NO_CIPHERS -DLTC_NO_HASHES -DLTC_NO_PRNGS -DLTC_NO_MACS -DLTC_NO_MODES -DLTC_NO_PK -DLTC_RIJNDAEL -DLTC_CTR_MODE -DSHA256 \ -DLTC_HMAC -DYARROW -DMRSA -DMPI -DTFM_DESC -DARGTYPE=3 -Os -DLTC_SMALL_CODE -fomit-frame-pointer" make IGNORE_SPEED=1 Obviously this won't get you performance but if you need to pack a crypto lib in a device with limited means it's more than enough... Neato eh?
