Ugh. I think the old "don't ask" model was the correct one, and
BIG_KEYS is probably broken (ie it should just select whatever crypto
it wants, not depend on people having selected it).

But I've taken this.

On a tangential note - looking at the resulting config file, I do note
that 'CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305_RSIZE' should probably depend on
CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305, because right now that sily thing gets set
whether POLY1305 is enabled or not.

That was true before too, of course - not related to this pull except
in the "this caused me to look at the end result" sense.
