I see OpenSSL being used directly only in
llmessage/llblowfishcipher.cpp, and only on Linux. (?)

I see LLBlowfishCipher only being called by
LLMail::encryptIMEmailAddress in llmessage/llmail.cpp, again only on
Linux. (well, and a unit test...)

And I see see LLMail::encryptIMEmailAddress being called by... nothing?

So, all it wants is a Blowfish implementation. Simple. But... either I'm
missing something (it is 4am...) or its dead code at the moment anyway!
There's a unit test for it. Is this an upcoming feature?
